Assessment of mechanical conditions in sub-dermal tissues during sitting: A Combined experimental-MRI and finite element approach
Ganz, Shabshin, Itzchak, Gefen -Journal of Biomechanics
A common but potentially severe malady afflicting permanent wheelchair users is pressure sores caused by elevated soft tissue strains and stresses over a critical prolonged period of time. This is the first study to quantify sub-dermal tissue strain and stress distributions in sitting humans in vivo. The data is essential in understanding deep tissue injury.
