Statistical ankle-shape and pressure analysis for design of elastic tubular bandage.
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of Engineering in Medicine 2020 October 20
Ankles can benefit from the elastic tube bandage (ETB) by providing the ankle joint with compression, but partial high- or low-pressure leads to body discomfort. The aim of this paper is to propose a method for analyzing the ankle shape with the fabric compression which is basis on the comfortable pressure on human body. First, a standard model of ankle is established from the scanned data of 306 samples, and the mapping of the fabric shape curves on ankle were constructed by the U-direction convex curves of the model. The positions or areas of maximum and minimum pressure are then marked by extracting the curvatures of the fabric shape curves. According to the Laplace's Law, the sizes of ETBs can be calculated given that the value of comfortable pressure on human body is the maximum one. The data of calculation is approximate to the relevant previous studies which has the same parameters of ETBs. Nine groups of the ankle shapes from the database are discussed, each group has a proportional coefficient to the standard model, and the result shows that six sizes of ETBs with comfort pressure match for the nine groups. These can be applied to the comfort design, and the method proposed can boost size customization of ETBs, as well as will inspire the research on other elastic compression garments.
