Abstract
Research studies which provide insight into the response of human skin to fabric when contacted by and/or covered with fabric are reviewed When possible, the fabric parameter thought influential in eliciting a certain response (e.g., increase in capillary blood flow, hydration state) is given. The operating principles of several key instruments used for assessing the response of skin to fabric are explained.Keywords
