Customised pressure profiles of made-to-measure sports compression garments
The purpose of this study was to make made-to-measure compression garments that elicit pressures within and below clinical standards. The study also examined whether pressures and gradients can be replicated within and between participants’ legs, and between separate compression garment conditions....

The purpose of this study was to make made-to-measure compression garments that elicit pressures within and below clinical standards.
