PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF LYCRA PRESSURE GARMENTS ON CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY... [Pg.300]

The aim of this study was to establish the physiological changes brought about at the skin-garment interface in children with cerebral palsy through wearing of Lycra pressure garments. [Pg.301]

In the present study the changes in skin temperature that occurred aiier wearing the garment were not statistically significant. However, it may be worth noting that the temperature increased in 64% of all the measurements taken, and the overall effect of the pressure garments was a slight increase in skin temperature. Could fiiis rise in... [Pg.305]

EMPIRICAL MODELLING OF ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF PRESSURE GARMENTS FOR HEALTHCARE... [Pg.309]

The elastic properties of pressure garments are intrinsically related to a niunber of their mechanical properties and these relationships follow the well known Laplace s equations. Compression therapy is now a well established method in the management of a number of hedthcare conditions and it is basically related to blood flow vdiich in turn is related to a number of variables of the pressure garment.

This research focuses mainly on one of the least exploited properties of spacer fabrics the elastic properties. Considering that the best attribute of spacer fabrics is their thermophysiological properties, a combination of these with the elastic properties gave birth to a very important medical application compression ther y. This research has focused on pressure garments, namely knee braces and pressure garments for third degree bums. [Pg.309]

At present several knitted spacer fobrics are being developed and dbaractraised with an aim to be used as pressure garments for third degree bums. Hus research work will be reported at a later date. [Pg.310]

The elastic (noperties of all the nuterials were detomined by following the British Standard BS750S on a Hounsfield instrument model HSKS. From these tests it was possible to obtain die values for tensimi ratio (IrX working extension (we) and dif raitial extension ctor (deQ, all teqnessed as a percenti. Ihese inoperties are used to determine the compresaon charactaistics and limits of support pressure garments. [Pg.312]

In 1995 Pratt and West published a manual on the design and fabrication of pressure garments to assist practitioners with the management of pressure therapy treatment. However the custom fit quality is still determined by the subjective expertise of the practitioner. [Pg.477]
