“…Neuromuscular parameters were investigated in 33 studies, which comprised predominantly outcomes relating to muscle activation patterns as measured by surface electromyography (n = 20, 34%) [54, 55, 58-60, 63, 68, 75, 76, 82, 127, 140, 142, 143, 146-148, 152, 155, 156]. Additionally, studies have investigated the effects of compression garments on joint proprioception [4,53,121,144,149,157,158], balance and postural control [138,140], stability and lower body joint alignment [16], potentiated recruitment patterns and M-wave characteristics using electrical stimulation (n = 5, 8%) [59,87,159,160], reaction time [73], skeletal muscle metabolic state during exercise [161] and movement-related cortical patterns via electroencephalography [130]. The large majority of studies investigating kinematic outcomes relating to gait (i.e.…”

“…Compression was also reported to improve the filtering of 'non-specific' sensory information [155], which may help to explain the compression-induced reported improvements in joint proprioception and repositioning sense [53,121,144,149,157,158], as well as balance and postural sway [16,138]. There is also evidence to suggest that compression garments positively influence potentiated muscle fiber recruitment [52,159] and movement-related cortical patterns [130]; however, research in this area is scarce.…”

Background Compression garments are regularly worn during exercise to improve physical performance, mitigate fatigue responses, and enhance recovery. However, evidence for their efficacy is varied and the methodological approaches and outcome measures used within the scientific literature are diverse. Objectives The aim of this scoping review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the effects of compression garments on commonly assessed outcome measures in response to exercise, including: performance, biomechanical, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, muscle damage, thermoregulatory, and perceptual responses. Methods A systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science and CINAHL Complete) was performed from the earliest record to 27 December, 2020. Results In total, 183 studies were identified for qualitative analysis with the following breakdown: performance and muscle function outcomes: 115 studies (63%), biomechanical and neuromuscular: 59 (32%), blood and saliva markers: 85 (46%), cardiovascular: 76 (42%), cardiorespiratory: 39 (21%), thermoregulatory: 19 (10%) and perceptual: 98 (54%). Approximately 85% (n = 156) of studies were published between 2010 and 2020. Conclusions Evidence is equivocal as to whether garments improve physical performance, with little evidence supporting improvements in kinetic or kinematic outcomes. Compression likely reduces muscle oscillatory properties and has a positive effect on sensorimotor systems. Findings suggest potential increases in arterial blood flow; however, it is unlikely that compression garments meaningfully change metabolic responses, blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiorespiratory measures. Compression garments increase localised skin temperature and may reduce perceptions of muscle soreness and pain following exercise; however, rating of perceived exertion during exercise is likely unchanged. It is unlikely that compression garments negatively influence exercise-related outcomes. Future research should assess wearer belief in compression garments, report pressure ranges at multiple sites as well as garment material, and finally examine individual responses and varying compression coverage areas.

“…Both IPC and GCS are effective physical prevention methods for DVT [33][34][35]. Graduated compression stockings(GCS) is designed according to the principle of sequential decompression [36,37]. The pressure at the ankle is the highest, and it gradually decreases upwards along the legs, squeezing the veins of the lower extremities, speeding up the blood return to the heart of the veins of the lower extremities, and reducing blood stasis to prevent the dilation of the venous lumen [38,39].…”

IntroductionIntermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) has been used for venous thrombosis (VTE) prevention. It’s necessary to evaluate the effects and safety of intraoperative use of IPC devices in the prevention of VTE in surgical patients.Material and methodsTwo authors independently searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, MedLine, EMbase, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on the use of IPC in surgical patients up to June 10, 2021. The Cochrane Collaborations risk of bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) were used for quality assessment. RevMan 5.3 software were used for statistical analyses.ResultsA total of 13 studies including seven RCTs and six retrospective cohort studies involving 6673 surgical patients were included, 1883 patients underwent IPC intervention. The synthesized RCT results indicated that IPC was beneficial to the reduce the incidence of DVT (RR0.30, 95%CI0.22~0.40, P<0.001) and VTE (RR0.51, 95%CI0.27~0.95, P=0.03). The synthesized results from retrospective cohort studies indicated that IPC is beneficial to the reduce the incidence of DVT (RR0.63, 95%CI0.42~0.96, P=0.03) and PE (RR0.34, 95%CI0.16~0.72, P=0.005). No significant publication biases were found for all synthesized outcomes (all p>0.05).ConclusionsIPC seems to be safe and effective in the prevention and management of intraoperative VTE. Limited by sample size, this conclusion still needs to be further confirmed by large-sample, multi-center, high-quality clinical studies.
