A novel anthropometric method to accurately evaluate tissue deformation by Chongyang Ye, Xiaolu Li, Haiyan Song, Yu Shi, Ruixin Liang, Jun Zhang, Ka Po Lee, Zhaolong Chen, Beibei Zhou, Raymond Kai-Yu Tong, Kit-Lun Yick, Sun-Pui Ng, Joanne Yip

“…IntroductionBiomechanical imaging through body scanning can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the soft tissue deformation exerted by compression sportswear, which is crucial in sports science research and functional sportswear design. However, displacement from movement affects alignment so accurately measuring tissue deformation with different wear conditions becomes challenging.MethodsTo address this issue, an analytical model is constructed to predict tissue deformation by using the Boussinesq solution, which is based on the elastic theory and stress function method. …”
