A Mathematical Model of Pressure Ulcer Formation to Facilitate Prevention and Management

Pressure ulcers are a frequent issue involving localized damage to the skin and underlying tissues, commonly arising from prolonged hospitalization and immobilization. This paper introduces a mathematical model designed to elucidate the mechanics behind pressure ulcer formation, aiming to predict it...
