Effect of elastic elongation on compression pressure and air-permeation of compression socks

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this research is to analyze effect of varying leg sizes on lateral compression pressure at ankle and calf portions and mutual graduation [%]. We also studied the effect of transverse elastic elongation [%] on air permeation [mm/sec] in relaxed (0% extension) and extended state (70% extension) of compression socks. To extend the compression socks at ankle and calf portions, a novel extension frame was used. Kikuhime pressure measuring device was used for measuring lateral compression and mutual graduation [%]. As far the comfortability of compression socks is concern, it was a great challenge to mitigate and convince the patients to use the compression socks who do not prefer to use due to ‘’too much hotness’’ and ‘itching’ registered in various studies. Air permeation tester was used for measurement of air permeability properties at ankle and calf portions of compression socks in relaxed and extended state. In this study, we found that as the elastic elongation in transverse direction of compression socks at ankle and calf portion increases, a significant change in lateral compression and air permeation was observed. We concluded that as the circumference of leg increases, a significant increase in compression pressure takes place. Air-permeation has also been changed with change in elastic elongation significantly (p value<0.05). Out the three socks samples the best sample was rib structured compression socks.
