Abstract

Compression pressure exertion is strongly related to mechanical properties of compression socks deployed with various type of materials and machine adjustments. These socks work on the principle of highest pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease towards the calf portion. Compression socks are used for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous disorders. Venous disorders range from minor asymptomatic incompetence of venous valves to chronic venous ulceration. Current research work contains analysis of the force at practical extension compared to experimental pressure (Ps), the relationship between experimental pressure (Ps), force at practical extension, and tensile indices which include hysteresis (H), tensile resilience (TR), and tensile linearity (TL). Results showed that the force value at practical extension (FL) impart the significant influence on experimental pressure (Ps). It is also portrayed that the tensile indices (W, W′, H, TR, and TL) combined with force at practical and experimental pressure also shown to have contributed significantly to the explanation of experimental pressure (Ps) results. Compression sock tensile characteristics are highly significant and directly related to their productivity, effectiveness, and working life.
