Tso-Liang Teng, Kun-Ta Chou and Chien-Han Lin

Abstract: Pressure garment therapy has been demonstrated to be an effective method of preventing or treating of hypertrophic scars and contractures. For pressure to be effective in correcting scars, a pressure measurement system for garments is essential tool to determine the amount of pressure actually provided. To determine the amount of pressure that should to be applied to the garment/scar interface by pressure garment, this study develops a measurement system for measuring the garment/scar internal pressures. The present measurement system provides much needed information in the areas of the burn garment assessment. Physical therapists can guarantee that the desired pressure has been achieved and that the garments are properly fitted.
