Influence of a Compression Garment on Average and Local Changes in Unit Pressure
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 6
Abstract
On the basis of models developed and experimental studies, the impact of a compression garment on average and local changes in unit pressure was analysed. The study was based on the analysis of the results of 3D scans of selected parts of female and male bodies. It was found out that surface pressure exerted by the compression garment leads to some changes in the geometry of body circumferences and in their lengths and, consequently, to a change in the average pressure value, as well as local changes along the circumference. The main purpose of this work was to estimate the size of these changes in the example of selected parts of female and male bodies.
