Abstract

Recent studies emphasize the significance of skin microclimate in the prevention of pressure injuries (PI). The objective was to evaluate the effect of pressure loading on skin temperature and moisture in the heels of healthy adults. This is a before-and-after study performed at Brazil, in October 2022. Skin temperature (°C) was measured by an infrared digital thermometer, and skin moisture (%) using electrical bioimpedance. Ten individuals/twenty heels were evaluated. The average temperature of the right and left heel was the same at baseline (27.2 °C). It was recognized that after 30 min of pressure loading on the heels, there was a decrease in temperature, and after 15 min of pressure offloading, the temperature decreased again. It was found that at t0, the moisture of the right heel (12.6%) was lower than the left heel (15.6%). The median moisture in the right heel increased from t0 to t1 and decreased in t2, while in the left heel, there was a small variation of the median from t0 to t1, as well as to t2. The pressure loading leads to a decrease in temperature and changes the skin moisture of the heels of healthy individuals.

压力负荷对健康志愿者足跟皮肤温度和水分的影响：初步结果

最近的研究强调了皮肤微气候对预防压力损伤（PI）的重要意义。本研究的目的是评估压力负荷对健康成年人脚跟皮肤温度和湿度的影响。这是 2022 年 10 月在巴西进行的一项前后对比研究。皮肤温度（°C）由红外线数字温度计测量，皮肤湿度（%）由生物电阻抗测量。共有 10 人/20 双高跟鞋接受了评估。基线时，左右脚跟的平均温度相同（27.2 °C）。结果表明，在对脚后跟施加压力 30 分钟后，温度有所下降，而在压力卸载 15 分钟后，温度再次下降。研究发现，在 0 分钟时，右脚跟的湿度（12.6%）低于左脚跟（15.6%）。右足跟的水分中位数从 t0 到 t1 增加，t2 减少，而左足跟的水分中位数从 t0 到 t1 和 t2 变化不大。压力负荷导致温度下降，并改变了健康人脚跟皮肤的湿度。

期刊介绍： Biology (ISSN 2079-7737) is an international, peer-reviewed, quick-refereeing open access journal of Biological Science published by MDPI online. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications in all areas of biology and at the interface of related disciplines. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
