Elastic compression stockings--an evaluation with foot volumetry, strain-gauge plethysmography and photoplethysmography.

Lars Norgren

Abstract

Foot volumetry, strain-gauge plethysmography and photoplethysmography were performed on 15 patients testing three different elastic stockings. Improvement of venous function and enhancement of the musculovenous pump effect was shown at foot volumetry and photoplethysmography. No effect on refilling times was found.
