Abstract:
Compression products are specially engineered textiles applied for different diseases and situations. Compression therapy is an important stage of rehabilitation after limb amputation for subsequent prosthetics. Analysis and the prediction of the realized compression level at different areas are important for the health process. The main feature of compression cover for amputee is to create gradient pressure with a decrease to the top of the limb to prevent swelling and to form a stump for prosthetics. The required pressure level is set for ankle level with a recommended decrease to 80-50% at the calf and to 50-20% at the thigh. The wide range of acceptable pressure values and its changes along the limb is a huge problem both for achieving a therapeutic effect and for creating appropriate high-quality compression products. The existing standard establishes 5 basic measurement levels that determine the size of the product. However, the features and diversity of limb shapes, as well as their changes throughout the day or during movement, are not taken into account. The high speed (4D) body scanning is an excellent tool for limb shape assessment and the developed software for measurement provides additional effects, for instance during motion. This work discusses preliminary results from experiments with compression materials.
