In vivo friction properties of human skin
Ming Zhang,Arthur F.T. Mak +1 more
TL;DR: In vivo frictional properties of human skin and five materials, namely aluminium, nylon, silicone, cotton sock, Pelite, were investigated and the palm of the hand has the highest coefficient of friction.

State-of-the-art research in lower-limb prosthetic biomechanics-socket interface: a review.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent research literature on socket biomechanics, including socket pressure measurement, friction-related phenomena and associated properties, computational modeling, and limb tissue responses to external mechanical loads and other physical conditions at the interface.

Influence of epidermal hydration on the friction of human skin against textiles.
LC Lutz-Christian Gerhardt,LC Lutz-Christian Gerhardt,V. Strässle,A Lenz,Nicholas D. Spencer,S. Derler +5 more
TL;DR: Increasing skin hydration seems to cause gender-specific changes in the mechanical properties and/or surface topography of human skin, leading to skin softening and increased real contact area and adhesion.

Pressure ulcer prevalence in people with spinal cord injury: age-period-duration effects.
TL;DR: Pressure ulcers were more common among the elderly, men, African Americans, singles, subjects with education less than high school, unemployed, subject with complete injury, and subjects with history of pressure ulcers, rehospitalization, nursing home stay, and other medical conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pressure ulcers among the elderly.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the incidence over a three-week period among bedridden and chairbound patients is 7.7 percent, and pressure ulcers are associated with a fourfold increase in the risk of death.
