Mechanics of Healing Soft Tissue Wounds

  • Chapter
Frontiers in Biomechanics

Abstract

Before dealing with the mechanical behavior of healing wounds, this chapter will discuss key aspects of the biological phenomena that form the basis for development of physical strength in healing wounds. These phenomena and the factors capable of modifying them form a necessary part of the basis for the design of adequate protocols for the mechanical testing of healing wounds.
