Abstract
The buttocks in this study all deformed significantly, but at different locations and in different manners across all 3 surfaces. Attention needs to be paid to the regions of greatest deformation. A future metric of shape compliance should consider cushion performance at all high risk regions, and changes to the amount and shape of tissue in the regions of interest.
