Sustained mechanical loading of soft tissues covering bony prominences, as experienced by bedridden and wheelchair-bound individuals, may cause skeletal muscle damage. This can result in a condition termed pressure-related deep tissue injury (DTI), a severe kind of pressure ulcer that initiates in deep tissue layers, and progresses towards the skin. Damage pathways leading to DTI can involve ischemia, ischemia/reperfusion injury, impaired lymphatic drainage, and sustained tissue deformation. Recently, we have provided evidence that in a controlled animal model, deformation is the main trigger for damage within a 2h loading period [1,2]. However, ischemia and reperfusion may play a more important role in the damage process during prolonged loading periods.

Prolonged mechanical loading of soft tissues, as present when individuals are bedridden or wheelchair-bound, can lead to degeneration of skeletal muscle tissue. This can result in a condition termed pressure-related deep tissue injury (DTI), a severe kind of pressure ulcer that initiates in deep tissue layers, e.g. skeletal muscle, near bony prominences and progresses towards the skin. Complications associated with DTI include sepsis, renal failure, and myocardial infarction. Damage pathways leading to DTI involve ischemia, ischemia-reperfusion injury, impaired lymphatic drainage, and sustained tissue deformation. Recently, the role of tissue deformation in the onset of skeletal muscle damage was established by combining animal experiments with finite element (FE) modeling [1]. After 2 hours of continuous loading, a clear correlation between maximum shear strain and damage was found.

The modifications in the concentration of circulating myoglobin have been studied by means of a radioimmunoassay in 15 cancer patients undergoing polychemotherapy including adriamycin. In 8 patients significant increases in myoglobin levels were found after injection of low doses of the drug (25-50 mg/m2). Moreover, a disturbance of the normal biorhythm of the protein was evident in 12 patients. Creatine kinase-MB was evaluated by means of a radioimmunoassay, but there was no relation between an increase in the isoenzyme and an increase in myoglobin. No ECG modifications were detected. These data indicate that the measurement of myoglobin may offer an indication of myocardial or skeletal muscle damage caused by adriamycin.
