Abstract
A dynamic support system includes a control system for controlling inflation and deflation of at least one actuator having an inlet connectable to the a control unit of the dynamic support system. The control unit may be in communication with a sensor and may control inflation and deflation of the at least one actuator in response to information provided by the sensor.
Claims5
A method for control of at least one actuator of a dynamic support apparatus, the method comprising:
- monitoring, with a sensor, a pressure of the at least one actuator;
- altering, with a control system, the pressure of the at least one actuator based at least in part on the monitored pressure, wherein the control system includes a plurality of predefined modes, each predefined mode including an activity reference pressure indicative of a predetermined activity;
- evaluating, with the control system, a user activity level based at least on the pressure of the at least one actuator;
- and
- altering, with the control system, the pressure of the at least one actuator based at least in part on the activity level;
- wherein the evaluation of the user activity level is made with respect to the activity reference pressure indicative of the predetermined activity of a currently selected predefined mode of the plurality of predefined modes.
