An Innovative Approach of Examining Skin Changes Associated with Scleroderma from a Mechanical Perspective, Stiffness based Novel Analysis

Mohammed Zahid Saadoon

Abstract: Fibrosing conditions represent a true dilemma in management for the clinicians. The parametric approach is used less in medicine and in many times silo thinking precludes full usage of advancements in different disciplines. For the first time, we reported a new method to measure changes associated with systemic sclerosis and correlate them to mechanical properties of the skin. Our results showed clearly how the skin is affected by this condition. These changes will continue in predetermined controlled fashion until reaching frank full blown disease. Early diagnosis simply means early management. The correlation will result in powerful evaluating tool for treatment and follow up of the disease.
