This article reports fabrication, structure and pressure measurement of compressed hosiery by employing direct and indirect methods.

Two different methods are used to measure the prior characteristics of compressed hosiery. As differences exist between the two methods, it is important to quantitatively analyze these differences. The compressed hosiery used for most studies is purchased from the market.

The material and structure of these hosieries are uncontrollable. We have fabricated the compressed hosiery samples ourselves. This method could also be used to measure other compression garments, such as compress pants and waistcoats.
