Field notes
The model treats sustained deformation and blocked blood flow as separate damage processes, and describes their timescales as minutes to hours and hours, respectively. It explains that personal factors such as age or a previous ulcer shift the picture by documented direction only; the page says the literature does not supply a validated way to combine them into a single score.
