Acute effects of wearing compression knee-length socks on ankle joint position sense in community-dwelling older adults
2021
Functional proprioceptive information is required to allow an individual to interact with the environment effectively for everyday activities such as locomotion and object manipulation. Specifically, research suggests that application of compression garments could improve proprioceptive regulation of action by enhancing sensorimotor system noise in individuals of different ages and capacities. However, limited research has been conducted with samples of elderly people thus far. This study aimed to examine acute effects of wearing knee-length socks (KLS) of various compression levels on ankle joint position sense in community-dwelling, older adults. A total of 26 participants (12 male and 14…
Immediate effects of wearing knee length socks differing in compression level on postural regulation in community-dwelling, healthy, elderly men and …

Background Stimulation of lower limbs’ cutaneous receptors and mechanoreceptors through compression garments could potentially increase somatosensory system efficiency and aid postural regulation in elderly individuals. Research question This study examined immediate effects of wearing knee length socks (KLS) of various compression levels on somatosensory function in community-dwelling healthy elderly men and women during a double-limb standing, balancing task. Methods A total of forty-six elderly participants (Male = 23), aged between 65 and 84 years old, randomly selected from the Singapore community-dwelling, healthy population. Three treatment interventions (wearing clinical compression…
Effects of training on postural control and agility when wearing socks of different compression levels
2017
Study aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of training while wearing socks differing in compression level (clinical, sub-clinical, regular) on performance of static and dynamic balancing and agility tasks in healthy, physically active people. We sought to understand whether socks with different compression properties supported postural regulation and agility task performance by enhancing somatosensory perception, unskewed by specific age range effects. Material and methods: Participants comprised 61 adults aged 18–75 years, divided into three groups (two experimental groups wearing clinical or sub-clinical level compression socks, and one control group wearing regular non-…
The effect of compression socks on balance skills : randomized controlled trial
2015
TIIVISTELMÄ Kiikka, Daniel. 2015. The effect of compression socks on balance skills - randomized controlled trial. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Liikuntakasvatuksen laitos. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma, 71s., 11 liitettä. Urheilusuoritusta parantavat kompressiomateriaalit ovat nopeasti nousseet polttavaksi puheenaiheeksi nykyurheilussa sekä -liikunnassa, minkä takia monet urheiluvaatemerkit ovat alkaneet kehittää omia versioitaan kompressiovaatteista, joita on alun perin käytetty lääketieteellisessä käytössä.
