_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     While lying in bed, pressure is the main reason why patients get a
     pressure-ulcer.  The aim of this EBNP was to get knowledge about
     how pressure differs during various positionings. The probands
     where positioned to the left and to the right side by 30 degrees
     while lying in a bed. Each time, the pressure at the 
     sacral-bone-area was measured, as at this area a pressure-ulcer
     arises very often. After that, pressure was assessed while
     probands where positioned by micro-positioning at left and right
     shoulder and pelvis.
