“…This information could be especially vital in understanding the efficacy of CGs. For instance, different materials have different levels of elasticity modulus, 101,102 and could, therefore, influence proprioceptive outcomes from different mechanisms. 75 Materials with lower elasticity (i.e., rigid) might be more suitable for individuals with joint instability, while those with higher elasticity might be advantageous for healthy individuals engaged in dynamic activities.…”

Compression garments (CGs) are commonly used in rehabilitation and sports contexts to enhance performance and speed up recovery. Despite the growing use of CGs in recent decades, there is no unanimous consensus on their overall influence on joint proprioception. In this current meta‐analysis, we aim to fill this knowledge gap by assessing the impact of CGs on joint proprioception. We conducted a literature search across seven databases and one registry. Ultimately, we included 27 studies with 671 participants. The meta‐analysis revealed that wearing CGs resulted in a significant reduction in absolute error during joint position sensing (Hedges’ g: −0.64, p = 0.006) as compared to no CGs. However, further analyses of variables such as constant error (p = 0.308), variable error (p = 0.541) during joint position sense tests, threshold to detect passive motion (p = 0.757), and active movement extent discrimination (p = 0.842) did not show a significant impact of CGs. The review also identified gaps in the reporting of certain outcomes, such as parameters of CGs, reporting of performance, individual‐reported outcomes, and lack of placebo comparators. Consequently, this review provides guidelines for future studies that may facilitate evidence‐based synthesis and ultimately contribute to a better understanding of the overall influence of CGs on joint proprioception.

“…High-elastic yarns are a key raw material for the production of compression garments that can provide stability, compression, and support to the human body [1]. Such compression garments have been widely used in the medical, sports, and aerospace fields in the form of compression stockings, orthopedic supports, and functional sportswear [2][3][4], which is safe and has no side effects compared to surgery and drug therapy [5]. In particular, compression garments are worn to apply pressure to the skin and deep soft tissues, thereby narrowing the width of veins and promoting the reabsorption 2 of lymphatic fluid [6,7].…”

Elastic yarns are the key component of high-performance compression garments. However, it remains a challenge to fabricate anti-fatigue yarns with high mechanical force and long elongation for generating compression garments with prolonged wear. In this paper, we report the development of anti-fatigue double-wrapped yarns with excellent mechanical properties by wrapping high-denier Spandex with nylon filaments in opposite twists. In particular, 560D high-denier Spandex as the core was untwisted which can maximumly reduce the interaction between the core and wrapping filaments, enabling high elongation of the double-wrapped yarns. In addition, we chose 70D nylon filaments with a tensile force of 387.40 ± 8.82 cN as the wrapping materials to provide sufficient force for double-wrapped yarns. Notably, opposite twists were induced for the inner and outer wrapping filaments to achieve a balanced stable yarn structure. By systematically optimizing manufacturing parameters including inner wrapping density, outer wrapping density, taking-up ratio, and drafting ratio, we obtained double-wrapped yarn with excellent tensile force (952.00 ± 24.03 cN) and elongation (357.28% ± 9.10%). Notably, the stress decay rate of optimized yarns was only 12.0% ± 2.2%. In addition, the optimized yarn was used as the weft-lining yarn for generating weft-lined fabrics, the elastic recovery rate of the obtained fabric was only 2.6% after cyclic stretching, much lower than the control fabric. Our design of anti-fatigue double-wrapped yarns could be widely used for fabricating high-performance compression garments.

Reducing compressive knee contact forces (KCF) during walking could slow the progression of knee osteoarthritis. A previous study has shown that compensating for the hip flexion/extension moment could reduce the KCF peak occurring during early-stance (KCFp1). Therefore, this study aimed to identify if monoarticular hip muscle could allow this compensation while considering different walking strategies. Gait trials from 24 healthy participants were used to make musculoskeletal models. Five load-cases were examined: (I) Normal, (II) with an applied external moment compensating for the hip flexion/extension moment, (III-V) three conditions with isolated/combined 30% increase of isometric strength of gluteus medius and maximus. KCF, hip muscle forces, and joint moments were computed. A cluster analysis of the Normal condition was performed with hip and knee flexion/extension moment during KCFp1 as input to examine the influence of walking strategies. The cluster analysis revealed two groups having different hip and knee moments in early-stance [p<0.01]. The reduction in KCFp1 from the normal condition, although present in both groups, was greater for the group with the highest hip and lowest knee flexion/extension moments for all conditions (II: -6.03% versus -21.82% [p<0.001], III: -3.21% versus -1.59%, IV: -3.00% versus -1.76%, V: -6.12 versus -3.09%). This reduction in KCFp1 occurred through a shift in force developed by the hamstrings to the gluteus medius and maximus. Differences between groups suggest that this reduction depends on the walking strategy.
