A. Lentner et al., INFLUENCE ON MOTILITY OF THE TALOCALCANEO NAVICULAR AND THE ANKLE JOINT BY MEDICAL COMPRESSION HOSIERY, VASA, 25(1), 1996, pp. 60-64
Using a special measurement equipment the motility range of the ankle
joint and the talo-calcaneo-navicular joint in healthy young volunteer
s was compared with and without compression hosiery. There was no limi
tation in joint motility using the stockings of moderate compression (
german compression class 1 and 2) but a reduced motility using strong
compression hosiery (german compression class 3 and 4) was found espec
ially in the ankle joint. This difference was significant in the produ
cts of two manufacturers.
