Abstract

Background: The terminology in compression therapy is not always consistent. Confusion arises from layers, components, materials, whether elastic or inelastic, stiff or not stiff, compression class, and other terms. The aim of this paper is to define a standard terminology for compression therapy.

Method: the International Compression Club (ICC) board members prepared a draft consensus paper, which was circulated among the ICC members and refined by GM according to the comments and suggestions received.

Results: All the terms used in compression therapy, from the definition to the materials, compression kits or systems, their physical properties, compression pressure, compression characteristics, and components and layers, were considered and agreed upon.

Conclusions: The given definitions allow for consistent classification of compression materials or devices. The International Compression Club hopes that the proposed terminology will be widely accepted and that papers and congress presentations on compression will use precise terminology.

压缩术语：定义压缩治疗术语-国际压缩俱乐部共识文件。

背景：压迫疗法的术语并不总是一致的。混淆来自于层、组件、材料、弹性或非弹性、刚性或非刚性、压缩等级和其他术语。本文的目的是为压迫疗法定义一个标准的术语。方法：国际压缩俱乐部（International Compression Club， ICC）董事会成员准备了一份共识文件草案，在ICC成员之间传阅，GM根据收到的意见和建议对其进行完善。结果：所有在压缩治疗中使用的术语，从定义到材料，压缩套件或系统，它们的物理性质，压缩压力，压缩特性，组件和层，都被考虑和同意。结论：给出的定义允许对压缩材料或装置进行一致的分类。国际压缩俱乐部希望所提议的术语将被广泛接受，并且有关压缩的论文和大会发言将使用精确的术语。
