Due to the different neuromusculoskeletal conditions, different buttock IP relief methods are required for persons with left hemiplegia (LH) and right hemiplegia (RH). Therefore, this study investigates temporal characteristics of IP on the right and left buttocks for RH, LH, and able-bodied individuals (AB) sitting in a wheelchair for 30 min. Thirty-five males participated in the study: 13 LH, 12 RH, and 10 AB. In the initial adjustment phase, the participants maintained an erect sitting posture for 7 min (2 min for posture and 5 min for creep adjustments). After the adjustments, experiments were conducted for 30 min to measure the IP. In the experiments, significant right-sided asymmetries of the mean IP were found for each group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The right buttocks of LH exhibited significantly more right-sided asymmetry of the mean IP than that of AB (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01). Moreover, the right buttocks of RH exhibited insignificant asymmetry of the mean IP compared to that of AB (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt;0.21). The peak IPs of RH and LH were significantly higher than those of AB (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.05), and temporal changes of the mean and peak IP of hemiplegia were significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.05) and not significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt;0.05), respectively. The RH exhibited affected-side weight-bearing based on the mean IP. In contrast, the LH relieved the mean IP on the affected-side buttock. Due to the right-sided asymmetric mean and high peak IP, hemiplegia in acute and recovery stages using wheelchairs can cause ulceration. Therefore, different rehabilitation approaches are required for the RH and LH to reduce the peak IP and avoid an uneven distribution of the mean IP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0262849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]],"date-time":"2022-01-27T18:33:41Z","timestamp":1643308421000},"page":"e0262849","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Different temporal weight-bearing tendencies of persons with right and left hemiplegia while sitting in a wheelchair"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Hunhee","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Taekyeong","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kang Hee","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gwang Moon","family":"Eom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4688-5249","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Junghwa","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Year 2011 Statistics for the Disables in Korea","year":"2011","author":"Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare","key":"pone.0262849.ref001"},{"key":"pone.0262849.ref002","unstructured":"National Stroke Association.
