Occupational Leg Oedema is More Reduced by Antigraduated than by Graduated Stockings

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2013
IntroductionElastic compression stockings exerting a progressive pressure, higher at the calf than at the ankle (progressive elastic compression stockings, PECS), have already proved to be more comfortable, easier to put on and more effective in ...

Physiological effects of wearing graduated compression stockings during running

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2010
This study examined the effect of wearing different grades of graduated compression stockings (GCS) on physiological and perceptual measures during and following treadmill running in competitive runners. Nine males and one female performed three 40-min treadmill runs (80 +/- 5% maximal oxygen uptake) wearing either control (0 mmHg; CON), low (12-15 ...

Effects of graduated compression stockings on skin temperature after running

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2015
High skin temperatures reduce the thermal gradient between the core and the skin and they can lead to a reduction in performance and increased risk of injury. Graduated compression stockings have become popular among runners in the last years and their use may influence the athlete's thermoregulation.

Graduated compression stockings: Physiological and perceptual responses during and after exercise

Journal of Sports Sciences, 2007
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of wearing graduated compression stockings on physiological and perceptual variables during and after intermittent (Experiment 1) and continuous (Experiment 2) running exercise. Fourteen recreational runners performed two multi-stage intermittent shuttle running tests with 1 h recovery between tests ...

Graduated Compression Stockings Reduce the Venous Velocity Augmentation of Foot Pumps

Journal of The Royal Naval Medical Service, 2004
Abstract The use of the A-V Impulse System of foot pumps and graduated compression stockings to reduce the incidence of thrombo-embolic disease after total hip arthroplasty is well recognised. It is not known if they have a synergistic effect as all clinical trials have used them in combination.

Objective Evaluation of Skin Pressure Distribution of Graduated Elastic Compression Stockings

Dermatologic Surgery, 2005
The beneficial effects of graduated elastic compression stockings (GCSs) have been demonstrated. However, their pressure performances are variable and unstable in practical applications owing to many influencing factors. Comprehensive assessment of skin pressure profiles may help elucidate the mechanisms of action of compression stockings.The objective

[Graduated compression stockings in surgery -- optional or obligatory?].

Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2004
Graduated compression stockings (GCS) can effectively reduce postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and their use is recommended by expert committees. However, it appears that GCS are not frequently used. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the customary use of GCS in surgical settings in the City of Hamburg, Germany, and to present evidence
