This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

Cutaneous wound healing in the pig is frequently used as a model for human cutaneous
wound healing. In this review, we examine the appropriateness of this model for studying …

Most animal models of chronic pressure ulcers were designed to study only the role of
ischemic injury in wound formation, often using single applications of constant pressure. The …

The objective of this paper is to provide a review on some aspects of the mathematical and
computational modelling of skin biophysics, with special focus on constitutive theories based …

Human skin is a highly specialized mechanoresponsive interface separating our bodies
from the external environment. It must constantly adapt to dynamic physical cues ranging …

Lower-limb amputees have identified comfort and mobility as the two most important
characteristics of a prosthesis. While these in turn depend on a multitude of factors, they are …

In this study, a mathematical model is developed for analyzing the effects of the microclimate
on skin tolerance to superficial pressure ulcers (SPUs). The modeling identified the following …

Interface pressures were measured during ambulation with a normal total-surface weight-
bearing suction socket and a vacuum-assisted socket. The vacuum-assisted socket has …

The aim of this study was to establish a pressure ulcer model that visualizes the
microcirculation, and to examine the participation of ischemia‐reperfusion injury in the …
