| Sumario: | The alteration of blood flow in the skin and subcutaneous tissue due to mechanical loading is of great importance in the prevention of decubitus ulcers. A technique is described for assessing changes in blood content optically. The results indicate that such changes occur after loading even though the deformation is maintained constant. |
