“…Therefore, the results of the paper suggest that burn scars should have appropriate pressure applied on the basis of the medium scar height to avoid an increase in the size of scars and to stabilise burns. Furthermore, many experts point out a fact that placing the human body in different postures affects the measurement results because of the difference of a cross-section and a straight section [35,36]. In skin surface contractility and extensibility during body movements, each point has a different maximum pull.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the thickness of the scars on the left arm of a female third-degree burn patient through ultrasonic examination in order to investigate the use of 25-mm Hg pressure garments, which are a key treatment for burns. The patient was injured with third-degree burns more than 10 years ago. Sixteen scars were examined. The resulting Pearson correlation of the forearm and upper arm was 0.138 (weak correlation; R 2 =0.0191). Therefore, in this case, all data points fell on a straight line with a positive (upward) slope. This result indicated different thicknesses for the upper arm and forearm third-degree burn scars; this result displays different thickness for the upper arms and forearm the third degree burn scars; the scars did not spread evenly due to the loading capacity of different parts of body instead of the pressure by pressure garment.This paper provides accurate information to manufacturers, therapists, and tailors regarding measurements for pressure garments. The results suggest that burn scars should be subject to appropriate pressure on the basis of medium scar height to avoid increasing scars and to stabilise burns, validating the hypothesis that 25 mmHg is not the optimal pressure for female patients with third-degree burns on the left arm and that the optimal pressure should be based on the patient's burns and wound area. To our knowledge, this is the first study to correlate the thickness of third-degree burns through ultrasound scan.

“…Um produto melhor adaptado à anatomia do usuário significa maior conforto, menos risco de acidente e melhor desempenho de sua função. A precisão das medidas antropométricas, portanto, está diretamente associada à função e às especificações dos produtos (ULRICH; EPPIN-GER, 2008;IIDA, 2005;LU et al, 2010).…”

“…This introduces a potentially unknown effect on waist girth relative to other arm positions. Three-dimensional scanning research has further shown that hand orientation (supine versus prone) can affect derived anthropometric measurements (Lu, Wang, & Mollard, 2010). Therefore the purpose of this study was to determine if arm position influenced anthropometric waist girth measurement.…”

Waist girth is recognised as a better predictor of obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, compared to other measures. Although several protocols for waist girth exist, arm position is either ignored, or not specified in unambiguous terms. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if arm position influenced anthropometric waist girth measurement. Waist girth was measured in 92 adults (19 males, 73 females) with arms relaxed, abducted, horizontal, folded across the chest (three variations) and raised vertically. Duplicate measures, in all positions, were recorded by a single International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK)-trained technician to a precision of 0.2% technical error of measurement (TEM). Arm position had a significant effect (P < 0.001) on waist girth. Male participants had greater waist girth than females (P < 0.001) and the waist girth differences across the varying arm positions exhibited a significant position-by-gender interaction (P < 0.001). The arm position-by-body mass index (BMI) category interaction was also significant (P = 0.016) with greater differences observed at higher BMI. These findings suggest caution in comparing results of different studies where arm position is not specified and indicate that the arm position corresponding to the ISAK protocol has the lowest error and is therefore recommended.
