The effects of compression stockings on the energetics and biomechanics during walking

The purpose of this study was to explore how compression stockings affect the energetics and biomechanics during walking. Sixteen male adults participated in this study. Participants completed walking trials on the treadmill and force plates, wearing compression stockings (CS) or nothing as a control condition (CON). The data obtained included metabolic rate, muscle activation, step frequency and step length as well as their variability, joint...
