Skin tears are common wounds found amongst older adults. A 6-month cohort study was conducted to investigate the reliability of non-invasive technologies to objectively quantify ageing skin properties, and to examine risk factors associated with 6-months incidents of skin tears, in an …

Measurement of morphological and physiological skin properties in aged care residents: a test–retest reliability pilot study

Robyn Rayner, Keryln Carville, Gavin D Leslie, Satvinder Singh Dhaliwal

This test-retest pilot study investigated the intra-rater reliability and reproducibility of non-invasive technologies to objectively quantify morphological (colour, thickness and elasticity) and physiological (transepidermal water loss (TEWL), hydration, sebum and pH) skin properties in an aged care population. Three consecutive measurements were …
