Sažetak
Different sock shapes and compression socks are described. Compressions of classic short socks in the sock body and cuff are analysed. The measuring was done on rigid cylinders of different diameters/circumferences which corresponded to leg circumferences in particular places. Special focus was placed on preventive and medical compression socks and amounts of compression on particular parts of the sock sleeve, as determined by an international doctors’ agreement. The measuring of the sock sleeve compression in long compression socks was conducted on the wooden leg model in certain sizes. Sock compression up to 13 hPa (10 mmHg) is generally considered small and is not stated on the sock manufacturing label. In the German norm, the smallest amount of compression is 24 hPa (18 mmHg) and preventive compression socks are usually made below this compression area. A larger compression classifies the sock as a medical compression sock. Compression socks help people to perform their everyday or professional activities in a simpler, less painful, faster, more precise and happier way and to lead a more joyful life. The classic construction of the medical (therapeutic) compression sock follows the principle of the highest compression in the ankle area which gradually decreases towards the crotch. Depending on the purpose, it is possible to make a compression sock with specifically determined amounts of compression in particular leg parts.
