Abstract
A hand held instrument has been developed and tested that can detect subtle changes in the skin properties by measuring its biomechanical response.The portable and handheld design makes it suitable for the detection of stage-I pressure ulcers (bedsore), during which the biomechanical properties of the skin and subcutaneous tissue changes substantially.
