The Autonomic Function Testing Laboratory at the Baylor College of Medicine Neuropathy Center is now established and equipped with the state-of-the-art equipment. This laboratory is designed to quantitatively evaluate the function of the autonomic nervous system.
After scar tissue forms and healing has taken place, the scar needs to be remodeled so that it can tolerate the stress and forces that the body may encounter throughout each day. The remodeling process is essential to ensure that normal range of motion, strength, and mobility are restored to the injured tissue.
Wound healing is divided into four overlapping states: 1) homeostasis, (2) inflammatory, (3) proliferative, and (4) remodeling. Describe the hemeostatic, inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling states of tissue repair. The skin consists of the dermis and epidermis that exist in equilibrium. Once the skin is broken the process of wound healing begins by the aggregation of platelets to the injury site to form a fibrin clot.
