本项目的目的是研究一种非侵入性的评估肢体筋膜间室综合征风险的方法。如果不进行治疗，肢体间隔室综合征可能会导致不可逆转的功能障碍、慢性疼痛和痉挛。报道了一种改进的获得定量硬度测量的方法。手持式无创室间隔综合征评估仪(NCSE)通过将直径5.0 mm的压痕施加到四肢肌肉间室来绘制力与压痕深度之间的定量硬度曲线。18名志愿者(9名男性，9名女性)通过使用定制的止血带来升高室内组织内压力。71个隔室的间质压力与定量硬度测量的比较显示，与平均皮尔逊相关系数0.84(范围78-9 P
The purpose of this project was to study a noninvasive method of evaluating limbs at risk of compartment syndrome. Untreated limb compartment syndrome may lead to irreversible dysfunction, chronic pain and contracture. An improved means of obtaining quantitative hardness measurements is reported. The handheld noninvasive compartment syndrome evaluator (NCSE) device formulates a quantitative hardness curve of force verse depth of indentation by applying a 5.0 mm diameter indenter to a limb muscle compartment. Eighteen volunteers (9 men, 9 women) had elevated intracompartmental interstitial pressures by application of custom-made tourniquets. Comparison of interstitial pressure to quantitative hardness measurements in 71 compartments tested showed a statistically significant strong linear relationship with an average Pearson correlation coefficient of .84 (range.78-9 P
