Abstract Introduction
Medical compression treatment using stockings exerts a pressure to the vascular system which represents the therapeutic dose. This pressure is indirectly measured according to heavy laboratory tests based on calibrated artificial leg markings. The objectives of this work were to elaborate and test a new dynamometer which allows direct measurement of pressure from how the stocking is applied by the patient and whatever the leg curvature radius are. |
