Anti-decubitus alternating-pressure chair cushion systems consist of an assembly of devices including an alternating-pressure cushion and a dedicated pump functioning as the control unit, designed to actively change an occupant's buttocks-chair contact points to relieve pressure points and prevent pressure sores. These systems are commonly used for elderly immobilised patients, particularly those with existing decubitus ulcers, patients with disabilities, or patients with low body fat.
