dc.description.abstractPressure ulcer is defined as the injuries resulted in the areas that are exposed to pressure for a long time in bedridden patients. It is a major problem that threatens these kinds of patients. The major risk factors cause pressure ulcer formations are pressure, temperature, humidity, and wetness.Pressure ulcers can occur in different body regions according to these factors. Therefore,the features of the body region that exposed to the risk factors are also important for pressure ulcer formation since the weight, sweating coefficient, and temperature values of the different parts of the human body vary. The human body can be evaluated in six regions as head, trunk, arm, hand, leg, and feet. In this study, the pressure ulcer formation risks for different body regions were calculated according to varying pressure, skin temperature, and humidity values by an improved formulation. And the pressure ulcer risks changes for the six regions of the body are evaluated.
