- •
The frictional behaviour of skin is a function of the humidity and the temperature.
- •
The product of the humidity and temperature appears to be the driving force.
- •
At 40% RH the coefficient of friction does not significantly vary with temperature.
- •
Increased sensitivity of friction in a warm, moist conditions to change in T and RH
- •
Microclimate management can contribute to reducing shear induced tissue injuries.
