Figure 2

Patients' positions and contact pressures. Patients' positions used in the study: supine (top), prone without supports (center) and prone with thoraco-pelvic supports (bottom). The mean contact pressures (measured with pressure transducers in four healthy volunteers) are also indicated by white arrows. Table 2 shows detailed contact pressures at different sites and global values.
