Variations with age in the mechanical properties of human skin in vivo...This article first appeared in Bedsore Biomechanics and is reproduced by kind permission of Palgrave Macmillan, Macmillan Publishers Ltd
To quantitatively assess the viscoelastic properties of human skin, an in vivo testing method has been developed and previously reported. In this method, a strain-gauged pretension device is first used to determine the natural skin tension and then to apply a predetermined tension. A suction cup dev...
