Role of multi-layer tissue composition of musculoskeletal extremities for prediction of in vivo surface indentation response and layer deformations.

Emergent mechanics of musculoskeletal extremities (surface indentation stiffness and tissue deformation characteristics) depend on the underlying composition and mechanics of each soft tissue layer (i.e. skin, fat, and muscle). Limited experimental studies have been performed to explore the layer sp...
