TLDR
The susceptibility to sitting-acquired deep tissue injury strongly depends on the geometrical and biomechanical characteristics of the bone–muscle interface, and, particularly, on the radius of curvature of the IT which mostly influenced the size of the wound, and on the muscle stiffness which dominantly affected the time for injury onset.Citations

TL;DR: Preventing pressure ulcers is best achieved by identification of high risk patients, alleviation of causative and predisposing factors and early detection of ischemic skin changes.

TL;DR: It is recommended that, in addition to traditional biofilm-based wound care strategies, an antimicrobial/antibiofilm treatment program can be tailored to each patient's respective wound microflora.

TL;DR: It is surmised that the present patient-specific modelling method is an important tool in understanding the etiology of DTI in the residual limbs of TTA patients.

How do microclimate factors affect the risk for superficial pressure ulcers: a mathematical modeling study.
TL;DR: A mathematical model is developed for analyzing the effects of the microclimate on skin tolerance to superficial pressure ulcers (SPUs) and can be further developed for design of interventions, safer patient clothing and supports that consider the optimization of microclimate factors.

The Effects of Pressure and Shear on Capillary Closure in the Microstructure of Skeletal Muscles
Eran Linder-Ganz,Amit Gefen +1 more
TL;DR: Evaluated capillaries in loaded muscle tissue using animal and finite element (FE) models suggest that acute ischemia does not develop in skeletal muscles under physiological load levels within a timeframe of 40 min, and DTI is unlikely to be the only factor causing DTI.

Pressure sores: classification and management.
TL;DR: Management of soft tissue breakdown overlying bony prominences is correlated with the extent of the lesion and ranges from local wound care, turning and systemic support for Grade I and II, to local and radical excision with soft tissue flap closure for the more extensive Grades III and IV.
Journal ArticleDOI
The etiology of pressure ulcers: Skin deep or muscle bound?
TL;DR: A new, hierarchical research approach is proposed to obtain improved insights into the basic pathways whereby mechanical loading leads to soft tissue breakdown and provide new fundamental knowledge about the etiology of pressure ulcers that can serve as a sound basis for effective clinical identification and prevention.
