What is an Alternating Pressure Mattress?

What is the difference when the tunning fork is place over bony prominences instead of non-bony areas?
When a tuning fork is placed over bony prominences, it typically produces a clearer and more pronounced sound due to the denser structure of bone, which transmits vibrations more effectively. In contrast, when placed over non-bony areas, the sound may be muffled or less distinct because soft tissues absorb some of the vibrations, leading to diminished auditory perception. This difference is often utilized in clinical assessments to evaluate bone conduction versus air conduction hearing.
Pressure ulcers are usually associated with skin overlying where?
The skin overlying bony prominences is the most prone to developing ulceration.

What bone is the bimalloelar?
The bimalleolar refers to the two malleoli, which are bony prominences located at the distal ends of the tibia and fibula in the ankle region. Specifically, the medial malleolus is the projection from the tibia, while the lateral malleolus is from the fibula. Together, they play a crucial role in stabilizing the ankle joint.
