“…CS are limited because, during exercise such as running, the hydrostatic pressure and muscular pumps require very high compression (>40 mmHg) to achieve a reduction in the venous diameter [8,36,37]. This high level of compression is unlikely to be comfortable, but perceived comfort is a key factor in CS [16] and sports accessories [38] achieving a positive effect.…”

Introduction Although the use of sports compression socks is becoming more popular, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the helpfulness of these garments for physical movement or sports use. One of the main effects attributed to the use of compression sock is the facilitation of venous blood flow return which is thought to improve performance and recovery. Methodology In this study, 10 trained runners performed 2 treadmill running tests for 30 min to 75% of their maximum aerobic speed, without sports socks (control) and with different sports compression socks. We measured popliteal vein flow volume before and after each test using magnetic resonance imaging. Results and discussion No differences were observed between the conditions before the test ( p > 0.05), but there were differences between the high compression socks condition and the control after the test ( p < 0.05). Exercise increased the venous flow in both legs in the control ( p < 0.001) as well as in the right leg with the high compression sock type ( p < 0.01) but there were no differences in the behaviour of the different sock compression levels ( p > 0.05). Conclusion The use of sports compression socks with different levels of compression does not increase the volume of venous blood return via the popliteal vein in trained athletes after running for 30 min.

“…The overall interface pressure was found to be the largest in Child 1 garment at trunk and pants during sitting, standing and STS. The identified interface pressure is extremely higher than what has been reported previously (Atiyeh et al 2013;Chi et al 2008;Lin et al 2013;Liu et al 2008;Troynikov et al 2013). As mentioned earlier, the interface pressure exerted by burn compression garment, sports pressure garment, medical compression stocking and medical bandages is predicted by using reduction factors and guided by Leplace's Law (Aghajani et al 2013;Liu et al 2007;Yu et al 2012).…”

“…This is based on the improvements on the child's trunk control score and STS duration. As mentioned earlier in the introduction, few studies indicate that there are fewer muscles activation occurred during running process when an athlete is wearing a compression garment (Troynikov et al 2013;. Thus, there is a possibility that the interface pressure produced by DLO provided continuous pressure which eventually reduces the spasticity in children with CP in current study.…”

Medical compression garment functions by exerted interface pressure between the fabric and skin. Yet, none of the previous studies have determine the pressure level of Lycra based orthosis. The current work aimed to determine the pressure level of Lycra orthosis at different postures in children with CP. Five (5) children with CP were recruited. Each were given a custom made Lycra orthosis. Two Tekscan medical sensor were placed over lateral side of upper garment and pants. The pressure was recorded when the child was in sitting, sit-to-stand (STS) and standing postures. There are significant differences of the interface pressure between each children, at different postures. The highest pressure recorded over upper garment is 122 mmHg and 120 mmHg over pants, both during sitting position. Overall, the Lycra orthosis exerted highest pressure over top garments than pants during sitting position.

“…Yet, most work has been developed to measure the interface pressure of compression stockings or compression bandages (Candy, Cecilia, and Ping 2010; Damstra, Brouwer, and Partsch 2008;Dumbleton et al 2009;Hafner et al 2000;Kumar, Das, and Alagirusamy 2013;H. Partsch, Partsch, and Braun 2006;Troynikov et al 2013;Wheeler et al 2011). For a given study, the choice of the right pressure sensor has to made with care.…”

Elastic compression of the lower leg is the traditional preventive and curative treatment of venous insufficiency. After presenting the medical strategies related to compression therapies, this chapter develops current advances in clinics as well as in engineering and outline the more important knowledge arising from this review. Compression hosiery acts by providing pressure to the leg. Pressure generation using socks mainly depends on the stiffness and the size of the socks, the size of the leg, but also the leg morphology. In the case of bandages, the role of friction must be outlined, as the main factor in maintaining the bandage wrapped around the leg, but also as an influencing factor in pressure generation. Besides generated pressure, response of superficial veins to compression also depends on the vein size and the fat stiffness. But mechanical assessments should not mask the importance of other factors such as muscular contraction or nurse formation. An important impact of these results would be head towards an improved personalization of compression treatment.
