What is it about?
It has been shown that the smart compression stocking could provide controlled pressure therapy with massaging and other functions such as size fitting. It is also proven that textile structural engineering can control the level of pressure therapy and massage. Objective assessment has been carried out to prove the effect of pressure therapy on blood flow using Ultrasound imaging.
