Spinal Cord
February 2022
Article Synopsis
- This scoping review aimed to summarize the physiological effects of compression stockings (CS) on individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and identify future research areas.
- After screening 283 titles, only five studies involving 78 individuals with SCI met the inclusion criteria, revealing mixed effects of CS use during rest and exercise.
- The findings suggest that while CS use can reduce risks like deep vein thrombosis, it may also increase systolic blood pressure; future research should explore factors like pharmacological interventions, body position changes, and exercise effects.
