EEMCO Guidance for the in vivo Assessment of Biomechanical Properties of the Human Skin and Its Annexes: Revisiting Instrumentation and Test Modes
Luis Monteiro Rodrigues Joachim W. Fluhr the EEMCO Group
Abstract
Biomechanics of the skin is an important subject in skin research. It has been studied for many decades involving various technologies and methods to haracterize and quantify mechanical properties of the skin under different in vivo conditions. The present EEMCO paper reviews the current relevant
information, providing practical orientation to researchers dedicated to in vivo assessment of biomechanics of skin and its annexes. We discuss the available non-invasive instruments, including their principles and variables.[download_after_email id=2759]
