ABSTRACT
Medical
compression garment functions by exerted interface pressure between
the fabric and skin. Yet, none
of the previous studies have determine the pressure level of Lycra
based orthosis. The current work aimed to determine the pressure
level of Lycra orthosis
at different postures
in children with
CP. Five
(5) children
with CP were recruited. Each were
given a custom made Lycra
orthosis. Two Tekscan medical
sensor were placed
over lateral
side of upper garment and pants.
The pressure
was recorded when the child
was in sitting, sit-to-stand (STS) and standing
postures. There
are significant differences of the
interface pressure
between each children, at different postures. The highest pressure recorded
over upper garment is 122 mmHg and 120 mmHg over pants, both
during sitting position. Overall, the Lycra orthosis exerted highest
pressure over top garments than pants during sitting
position.

ABSTRAK
Pakaian mampatan
perubatan berfungsi dengan
memberikan tekanan antara
muka antara fabrik
dan kulit. Namun,
tiada kajian terdahulu yang
mengenal pasti
tahap tekanan
Likra berasaskan ortosis ini.
Kertas ini bertujuan untuk
mengenal pasti tahap tekanan Likra ortosis untuk postur berbeza
pada kanak-kanak dengan CP. Lima (5) orang kanak-kanak dengan CP
telah dipilih. Setiap seorang telah diberikan Likra ortosis yang
dijahit tempah. Dua penderia perubatan Tekscan telah diletakkan pada sisian bahagian
atas pakaian dan seluar. Tekanan direkodkan semasa kanak-kanak itu
berada pada postur duduk, duduk untuk berdiri (STS) dan berdiri.
Terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan pada tekanan
antara muka antara kanak-kanak, pada postur yang berbeza. Tekanan paling tinggi yang direkodkan pada
pakaian adalah 122 mmHg
dan 120
mmHg pada
seluar,
kedua-duanya pada posisi
duduk. Secara keseluruhannya, Likra orthosis memberikan tekanan tinggi pada pakaian daripada
seluar dalam posisi duduk.
Kata kunci: Likra;
