• TITLE: Healing Wounds under Mechanical Stress: A Case Example

  KEYWORDS: Wounds, Pressure Ulcer, Mechanical Stress, Electric Stimulation, Weight-Bearing

  ABSTRACT: This paper challenges the concept that the essential element in wound healing is to offload pressure. We suggest a change in approach that recognizes the integumentary system as one which, like all other body systems, adapts to the stresses put upon it. We use a clinical case example to illustrate the use of intentional mechanical stress to promote wound healing and include a review of the relevant literature. The intent of this publication is to call for a new look at clinical practice regarding wound healing and to call for future research directed at investigation of this theory.
