“…2,3 An epidemiological study in Australia found that children aged 0 to 4 years were the most likely to sustain treadmill friction injury. 4 The increased incidence of treadmill friction injuries in young children may be due to a slower withdrawal reflex and a thinner volar epidermis when compared to adults. 5 Treadmill hand injuries are usually friction burns caused by the fast rotation of the treadmill belt.…”

Treadmill hand friction burns are more severe than contact burns in terms of the depth of injury.…”
