Popis: A technique to measure the dynamic viscoelasticity of human skin in vivo is described. Usually, the measurement of skin mechanical properties presents great difficulty due to its high noise level comparison with the strain signal from the skin under the simultaneous stress. A method is described that can measure the mechanical properties of the skin using decade filters and computer with developed noise suppressing logics. This method is sensitive enough to detect the difference in visco-elasticity between sites of the body, and the differences between before and after application of lotion.
