The effectiveness, safety, pressure distribution, and retention of the compression garments are important aspects that have significant effects on the health of users.
Likewise, compression garments with a slight pressure designed to be tight fitting for body shaping purpose are becoming more popular. Sportswear with moderate compression distribution is widely used in athletics and fitness activities and is expected to enhance the performance of the athletes, decrease the possibility of injury, and accelerate the process of recovery. The use of compression garments has become widely common in sportswear. Ĭompression garments have been utilized for medical reasons for many years. Compression therapy has also been used for the last 50 years for burn care and has been accepted to help minimize the formation of hypertrophic scars and enhance the maturation process of scars. The first modern elastic compression stockings with gradual compression were also fabricated in the 19th century in England. However, the commercial adoption of bandages did not appear until the end of the 19th century. Compression therapy, which is applied with bandages, started out as a form of conservative treatment for varicose veins in 1440. It was believed that pressure exerted could levitate the side effects of gravity and uphold posture in order to benefit wound healing of the lower limbs. The first mention of compression therapy appeared in the Corpus Hippocraticum (450–350 BC). They have been widely researched and utilized in the fields of medical applications, athletic applications, and body-shaping applications. Compression garments are special clothing containing elastomeric fibers and yarns used to apply substantial mechanical pressure on the surface of needed body zones for stabilizing, compressing, and supporting underlying tissues.
