Zusammenfassung:We present here an original device and method developed for measuring the resilience–elasticity properties of human cutaneous scars in vivo. The novelty of the device is protected by patent. Examples are presented and results obtained from application of this work in assessing the mechanical properties of cutaneous scars in post-amputation lower limb stumps during medical rehabilitation and prosthetization of patients are discussed.
