<p>A method useful in an apparatus for enhancing the operation of a measurement device is disclosed. The apparatus for enhancing the operation of a measurement device (530) for measuring the positioning of an element supported on a flexible supporting device, and a correlated deflection of the flexible supporting device as a result of the force exerted by said element on said supporting device, in relation to the volume and shaped of said supported element, includes an impedance varying element for measuring said positioning, which element comprises a measuring bridge (600) incorporating said measurement impedance varying element (534). The method facilitates the measurement of the distance over which a support is depressed beneath a load to be supported such as a patient.</p> |
