The importance of measuring interface pressure and stiffness to characterize the elastic properties of materials has been stressed with regard to elastic stockings and elastic bandages. The objective of this study was to compare the pressure profiles of nine different elastic stockings and to quantify the effects of posture changes and exercise on compression. Using a pressure transducer (Air Pack Type Analyzer), the interface pressure associated with nine different elastic stockings was measured at level B1 during supine resting, standing, and exercise. The elastic stockings examined could be divided into two categories according to extensibility: short stretch (< 105% extensibility) and long stretch (> 105% extensibility). Short-stretch stockings include thick round-knitted stockings, firm round-knitted stockings, and flat-knitted stockings. Short-stretch stockings showed a higher peak working pressure and a larger pressure amplitude during exercise than long-stretch stockings. Short-stretch stockings can be expected to have more pronounced benefits for augmenting muscle pumping in the same way as short-stretch bandages. In selecting suitable elastic stockings for patients, the stiffness should be taken into account in addition to interface pressure. |
