Peroneal nerve palsy is one of the more common entrapment neuropathies of the lower limb and can be a result of a multitude of causes. Compression stockings are commonly used for prophylaxis of deep venous thromboembolism after surgery. The entrapment on the head and the neck of the fibula caused by compression stockings is uncommon. In this article, the authors report a 46-yr-old male patient who was operated on for postauricular squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. On the third postoperative day, it was noticed that compression stockings had rolled down, and a linear impression mark was observed under its upper edge at the proximal part of the left cruris. He had left foot drop and difficulty in walking during gait assessment. The needle electromyography confirmed total axonal degeneration of the left peroneal nerve with denervation potentials. The aim of this report was to emphasize the importance of the size and length of the compression stockings and regular skin control in avoiding the risk for peroneal nerve palsy.

Influence of compression garments on fatigue behaviour during running based on nonlinear dynamical analysis.
Sports Biomech
November 2024
Management, Science and Technology Department, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.
The purpose of this study was to assess quantitatively the effects of compression garments (CGs) on fatigue behaviour during sport activities such as running, which are the subject of a series of qualitative and physiological studies. A quantitative biomechanical analysis of the effects of CGs could assist coaches and athletes to adopt these types of performance enhancement garments. In this research, kinematic changes are measured using 2D phase portraits to study the influence of CGs on fatigue behaviour.

This qualitative study aimed to describe users' experiences and needs related to wearing, donning, and doffing compression hosiery, and the provision process of compression hosiery and associated assistive products for donning and doffing. Adults who have been advised to wear compression hosiery participated in semi-structured interviews. Existing frameworks about the provision process and acceptance of assistive technology guided the topic list.
