Experimental setup for recording MRI images from buttock–thigh area in a simulated sitting posture with simulated sitting load applied. Upper row: MRI setup to measure buttock–thigh structure under two loading configuration (Left: without sitting pressure; Right: with sitting pressure) for the simulated sitting posture. Two belts tied the cushion with the buttocks. An air bladder was placed in between of the two layers of the cushion. Inflation and deflation of the air bladder provided different loading levels. Lower row: corresponding MRI images.
