Comparison of Physiological Effects Induced by Two Compression Stockings and Regular Socks During Prolonged Standing Work. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to evaluate the effects of regular socks versus compression stockings on lower-leg muscle fatigue, edema, and discomfort among security guards who stand for long periods.
  • Forty male security guards participated, being divided into control and intervention groups to assess muscle strength and discomfort before and after a 12-hour shift.
  • Results showed that those wearing regular socks experienced significant lower-leg issues, while those in compression stockings reported no significant negative effects, indicating that compression stockings may help alleviate problems caused by prolonged standing.

Article Abstract

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare lower-leg muscle fatigue, edema, and discomfort induced by the prolonged standing of security guards wearing regular socks and those wearing 15-20 or 20-30 mmHg compression stockings as intervention.

Background: Compression stockings are sometimes used by individuals standing all day at work. However, quantitative evidence showing their potential benefits for lower-leg health issues in healthy individuals during real working conditions is lacking.

Method: Forty male security employees participated in the study. All were randomly assigned to the control or one of the two intervention groups (I or I). Lower-leg muscle twitch force, volume, and discomfort ratings were measured before and after their regular 12-hr standing work shift.

Results: Significant evidence of lower-leg long-lasting muscle fatigue, edema, and discomfort was observed after standing work for guards wearing regular socks. However, no significant changes were found for guards wearing either compression stockings.

Conclusion: In healthy individuals, compression stockings seem to attenuate efficiently the tested outcomes in the lower leg resulting from prolonged standing.

Application: Occupational activities requiring prolonged standing may benefit from 15-20 or 20-30 mmHg compression stockings. As similar benefits were observed for both levels of compression, the lower level may be sufficient.
