Compression treatment for chronic venous diseases is associated with a wide range of challenges and often produces uncertain clinical outcomes. Investigating and exploiting the performance of compression bandage would further improve the knowledge of compression management and would give a holistic picture of this promising area. This book discusses the fundamentals of compression therapy i.e. compression or pressure through multi-disciplinary approaches involving various concepts of physics, biological science, biomaterials, fabric engineering, structural dynamics, material science, technical textiles and instrumentation to better deal with compression bandaging from different perspectives. INDICE: Introduction to compression therapy; Bandage; Sub-bandage pressure; Compression performance under static state; Effect of material and structure on compression; Compression performance under dynamic state; Assessment of dynamic stiffness index; Time dependent study of compression management under dynamic conditions; Modelling of sub-bandage pressure profile generated over time.
