In this perspective paper, we discuss clinical and biomechanical viewpoints on pressure injury (or pressure ulcer) prevention research. We have selected to focus on the case of prophylactic dressings for pressure injury prevention, and the background of the historical context of pressure injury research, as an exemplar to illuminate some of the good and not so good in current biomechanical and clinical research in the wound prevention and care arena. Investigators who are conducting medical or clinical research in academia, in medical settings or in industry to determine the efficacy of wound prevention and care products could benefit from applying some basic principles that are detailed in this paper, and that should leverage the research outcomes, thereby contributing to setting higher standards in the field.
在这篇观点阐述文章中，我们讨论了压力性损伤（或压疮）预防研究的临床和生物力学观点。我们选择聚焦于预防压力性损伤的预防性敷料案例，以及压力性损伤研究的历史背景，以此为例来说明伤口预防与护理领域当前生物力学和临床研究中的一些优点与不足。在学术界、医疗机构或行业中开展医学或临床研究以确定伤口预防和护理产品功效的研究人员，可通过应用本文详述的一些基本原则而受益，这些原则应能提升研究成果，从而有助于在该领域设定更高标准。
