Being the mobilitation of sick one of the basic principles of the prevention of the ***LdD, this work concentrates the attention on the systems antidecubitus for the position seated that potentially it favors dynamics of self-determination and socialization of the person, identifying in the reduction of the allurement condition a first step in order to limit the insorgence of the ***LdD. The pillows antidecubitus constitute a system personalized of support that takes part, for ***ridurli, on the mechanisms of extended pressure, the efforts of cut/friction, on hygiene and maceration. Moreover the pillows can constitute an indispensable instrument in order to compensate, where become necessary, the postural defects. I use of the scale ***Norton for the calculation of the risk of the ***LdD comes ***rapportata to the various types of pillows in order to distinguish between system of prevention in case of low, medium or elevated risk.
