Summary

Will the use of sensory substitution by lingual electric stimulation improve in a suitable way, for paraplegic subject, the spatial distribution of pressure applied at the seat/skin interface in order to prevent the formation of pressure ulcer? We will try to demonstrate that paraplegic subject move in an appropriate matter, in term of pressure, after a movement way advised by periodical electric stimuli on the tongue.
