Clothing Pressure of selected Support Panty Stockings = Clothing Pressure of selected Support Panty Stockings

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of the study was to obtain the basic data on the self-adjusting ability of the support panty stockings. Ten healthy women in the twenties were selected as subjects and clothing pressure of 9 support panty stockings made of single covered yarn (SCY) and double covered yarn (DCY) were measured under the standard environmental condition for the study. Data was analysed statistically according to body postures, sides, and parks. The results were as follows: Clothing pressure according to body posture was order of `sitting-on-a-chair`, `stepping-up-a-stair`, and `standing`. High clothing pressure was obtained in the parts of calf (9.4 gf/㎠) in `standing` and knee (9.7 and 16.5 gf/㎠) in both `stepping-up-a-stair` and `sitting-on-a-chair`, respectively. The order of clothing pressure with body sides was `front`, `side`, and `back`. The highest clothing pressure was knee (18.8 gf/㎠) on the front, thigh (8.8 gf/㎠) on the side, and calf (6.4 gf/㎠) on the back. Clothing pressure of DCY at abdomen and knee was a little higher than those of SCY 3. In terms of material structure variation, clothing pressure of thigh, calf and ankle with SCY was a little higher than those with DCY, while clothing pressure of abdomen and knee with DCY was a little higher than those with SCY.
