Friction injuries are often misdiagnosed as pressure ulcers. The reason for the misdiagnosis may be a misinterpretation of classic pressure ulcer literature that reported friction increased the susceptibility of the skin to pressure damage. This analysis assesses the classic literature that led to the inclusion of friction as a causative factor in the development of pressure ulcers in light of more recent research on the effects of shear. The analysis in this article suggests that friction can contribute to pressure ulcers by creating shear strain in deeper tissues, but friction does not appear to contribute to pressure ulcers in the superficial layers of the skin. Injuries to the superficial layers of the skin caused by friction are not pressure ulcers and should not be classified or treated as such.
摩擦损伤常被误诊为压疮。误诊的原因可能是对经典压疮文献的误解，该文献报道摩擦会增加皮肤对压力损伤的易感性。鉴于最近关于剪切力影响的研究，本分析评估了导致将摩擦列为压疮形成病因的经典文献。本文的分析表明，摩擦可通过在深层组织中产生剪切应变而导致压疮，但摩擦似乎不会导致皮肤表层出现压疮。由摩擦引起的皮肤表层损伤不是压疮，不应如此分类或治疗。
