Trends of reactive hyperaemia responses to repetitive loading on skin tissue of rats – Implications for pressure ulcer prevention

In this study, the effect of different recovery times on RH trend is investigated during repetitive loading. Twenty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats (seven per group), with body weight of 385 –485 g, were categorised into three groups and subjected to different recovery times with three repetitive loading cycles.
