2023 journal article
Female firefighters' increased risk of occupational exposure due to ill-fitting personal protective clothing
FRONTIERS IN MATERIALS, 10.
author keywords: female firefighter; personal protective clothing; turnout gear; wildland; protection; fit; sizing
TL;DR:
Overall results indicate female firefighters are wearing PPC with significant fit issues that not only reduce their comfort and restrict their mobility but pose increased safety risks related to occupational exposure.

2017 journal article
An indirect testing approach for characterizing pressure profiles of compression bandages and hosiery
JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE, 109(2), 256–267.
author keywords: Compression medical textiles; compression garments; interface pressure; tensile properties; body measurement
TL;DR:
An indirect approach for measuring pressure from a set of compression bandages and hosiery was developed, from which rigidity (EI) values were determined, and tension–elongation curves and pressure-elongation data were calculated.

2015 journal article
Simulated pressure changes in multilayer, multicomponent wrap systems when transitioning from rest to standing
JOURNAL OF WOUND CARE, 24(9), S14–S20.
author keywords: compression therapy; multilayer bandage systems; Laplace's law; 2-layer compression; 4-layer compression
TL;DR:
The results show that the sub-bandage pressure is not significantly affected by changes in posture when used as intended, within the therapeutic range.

2014 journal article
Towards characterizing the pressure profiles of medical compression hosiery: an investigation of current measurement devices and techniques
JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE, 106(7), 757–767.
author keywords: body measurement; compression garments; medical textiles; interface pressure; measurement and verification
TL;DR:
The construction of these compression-measuring devices and the sensing involved are explored in order to highlight the potential causes of discrepancies between point pressure measurements and those predicted from the Tension–Elongation profiles.
