Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group 1
Compression socks with Textured insoles
compression socks
The compression socks have a clinical pressure of 23-30 mm Hg. The socks are dressed to the participants based on the manufacturer's sizing guidelines.
textured insoles
The textured insoles have small, pyramidal peaks with centre-to-centre distances of approximately 2.5 mm (Evalite Pyramid EVA, 3 mm thickness, shore value A50, black). The insoles cut to a range of men's and women's standard EU shoe sizes. During the testing process, they are worn within a standardised shoe.
Intervention group 2
Compression socks with Smooth insoles
compression socks
The compression socks have a clinical pressure of 23-30 mm Hg. The socks are dressed to the participants based on the manufacturer's sizing guidelines.
smooth insoles
The smooth insoles have a completely flat surface (Evalite Pyramid EVA, 3 mm thickness, shore value A50, black). The insoles cut to a range of men's and women's standard EU shoe sizes. During the testing process, they are worn within a standardised shoe.
Intervention group 3
Smooth socks with Textured insoles
textured insoles
The textured insoles have small, pyramidal peaks with centre-to-centre distances of approximately 2.5 mm (Evalite Pyramid EVA, 3 mm thickness, shore value A50, black). The insoles cut to a range of men's and women's standard EU shoe sizes. During the testing process, they are worn within a standardised shoe.
smooth socks
The smooth socks are a commercial stocking that does not have a compression feature, but has a similar thickness and color to the compression stocking. They have standard size.
