Reduction of Prolonged Excessive Pressure in Seated Persons with Paraplegia Using Wireless Lingual Tactile Feedback: A Randomized Controlled TrialPressure ulcers (PU) are known to be a high-cost disease with a risk of severe morbidity. This paper evaluates a new clinical strategy based on an innovative medical device [Tongue Display Unit (TDU)] that implements perceptive supplementation in order to reduce prolonged excessive pressure, recognized as one of the main causes of PU. A randomized, controlled, and parallel-group trial was carried out with 12 subjects with spinal cord injuries (SCI).
