Abstract
The goal in this study is to assess instrumentation and methods for measuring the pressure and deformation of soft body tissues. The design of an instrument and the form of the resulting data are discussed in this paper. Applications include the evaluation of edema, the compartment syndrome, monitoring of peripheral vascular disease and the evaluation of pressures associated with use of a prosthesis with the residual limb following amputation.
