Assessment of mechanical properties of compression socks using cut-strip method

Abstract

Mechanism of action is lowering of pressure exertion from ankle to calf portion of the leg. The pressure exertion value should be highest at the ankle that must gradually decrease along the direction of the leg. This varying degree of compression pressure propagate and regulate blood flow, keep the muscles in-line at the right position to mitigate the injury risk, gives relief to many of chronic venous disease patients and used for therapeutic purposes.2,3
