Dynamic Responses of Human Skin and Fascia to an Innovative Stimulation Device—Shear Wave Stimulation

Exposure to mechanical stimuli such as pressure and stretching prompts the skin to undergo physiological adaptations to accommodate and distribute applied forces, a process known as mechanotransduction. Mechanotherapy, which leverages mechanotransduction, shows significant promise across various med...
