Abstract
Absfract Adaptive changes that occur in skin microstructure under repeatedly-applied mechanical force are investigated. A load-applicator to apply cyclic loads showed an instrumentation error less than 3% full-scale output. Qualitative histological analysis of prehninary results from a pig model suggested changes in both the epidermis and dermis. Skin adaptation research will provide insight appIicable to development of diagnostic tools to assess skin integrity and therapies to facilitate adaptation in cases where it is impaired or lost.
