Compression garments support athletes during single-leg landings, reducing impact forces. This study examines how varying CG lengths affect stability and joint movement.

Jumping demands significant foot and lower limb effort, often causing fatigue and injury. The foot arch is vital for energy storage and release, while arch supports in foot orthoses provide stability. This study explores how differing arch support designs impact landing performance, addressing the research gap on energy dynamics in high-performance sports.

Assessing plantar pressure is crucial for fabricating diabetic insoles and preventing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which are caused by increased plantar pressure. However, the commonly used methods for assessing plantar pressure distribution involve professional sensor-based equipment and expertise, which are costly and time-consuming. Given the qualitative association between ink footprint images and plantar pressure, this […]

Compression textiles are prevalent in sports, healthcare and medical products. However, challenges have appeared in designing graduated compression stockings, including the need for systematic studies on leg geometry and the complex pressure-measuring process. This study investigated the pressure performance of suggested and undersized stockings, particularly when the wearer’s leg size exceeds the supplier’s recommendations. The […]

This study investigates the thermal comfort of five types of anti-vibration gloves that use chloroprene rubber and spacer fabric as materials to isolate vibration. An evaluation of the fabric and material on the palm and dorsal of the glove, and a wear trial of the gloves were subsequently carried out.

This study aims to investigate the vibration isolation properties of three-layer sandwich fabrics with silicone inlay.
