Abrégé

A support surface overlay system includes a support surface overlay and a control system. The support surface overlay includes at least one selectively inflatable compartment. The control system includes a pneumatic controller configured to inflate and deflate the at least one selectively inflatable compartment. The control system also includes a memory, a sensor, and a processor. The memory is programmed with a predetermined data indicative of an operating parameter of the system vs. time with the support surface overlay in an unloaded state. The sensor is configured to detect and provide signals indicative of the operating parameter of the system vs. time during inflation and/or deflation of the at least one selectively inflatable compartment. The processor is configured to compare the predetermined data to the data provided by the sensor and to determine whether or not a load is present on the support surface overlay based on the comparison.

Abrégé

A therapeutic support device includes a bladder having one or more independently inflatable compartments, each including a plurality of inflatable cells. When inflated, each inflatable cell forms a contact node that may support a user or another object disposed thereon. The inflatable compartments can be alternately inflated and deflated such that contact pressure can be applied to and relieved from corresponding portions of the user’s body in an alternating manner.

Abrégé

A support surface overly having first and second independently inflatable compartments is disposed within an envelope. Air may be removed from the envelope so that side panels of the envelope collapse against corresponding surfaces of the overlay to inhibit lateral motion of the panels with respect to the surfaces of the overlay.

Abrégé

A therapeutic support device includes a bladder having one or more independently inflatable compartments, each including a plurality of inflatable cells. When inflated, each inflatable cell forms a contact node that may support a user or another object disposed thereon. The inflatable compartments can be alternately inflated and deflated such that contact pressure can be applied to and relieved from corresponding portions of the user's body in an alternating manner.
