How can mathematics be used to improve burn care? by Ginger Egberts, Fred Vermolen, Qiyao Peng, H.Ibrahim Korkmaz, Paul van Zuijlen

“…While contraction is essential for closing the wound, it can also result in scar contraction (contractures), especially in more severe burns. This contraction creates stresses on the skin, which can deteriorate the mobility of joints near the burn.This article overviews the most recent research results in computer simulations of scar contraction after burns.…”
