Conventional scar treatment options of single pressure garment therapy (PGT) or silicone gel sheeting (SGS, Cica-Care®, Smith and Nephew, London, UK) alone lack mechanical property tunability. This article discusses a scar healing composite (PGF-...
The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical model for the prediction of compression pressure based on fabric parameters, such as engineering stress, engineering strain and engineering modulus of elasticity. Four knitted compression fabrics wit...
Compression garments are elastic clothing with an engineered compression gradient that can be worn on limbs, upper, lower, or full body to use for therapy and sports. This article presents an overview and review on the compression garments and concen...
Clothing pressure is a critical design parameter in compression garments, yet its estimation in three-dimensional (3D) digital environments remains challenging because it depends on fabric mechanics, garment deformation, body geometry, and garment&nd...
Compression garments are widely employed in medical and sports contexts for their ability to promote venous return, manage oedema, support musculoskeletal function, and enhance athletic recovery. Advances in textile-based compression systems have bee...
The design of medical-grade compression garments is essential for therapeutic efficacy, requiring precise pressure distribution on specific body areas. This study evaluates the effectiveness of virtual fit technology, focusing on CLO3D, in designing...
Computerized machine knitting offers an attractive fabrication technology for incorporating wearable assistive devices into garments. In this work, we utilized, for the first time, whole-garment knitting techniques to manufacture a seamless fully kni...
This study aims to develop an innovative and functional mastectomy bra that addresses the physical, aesthetic, and psychological needs of post-mastectomy women. Mastectomy bras play a vital role in prosthesis stability, body image improvement, and qu...
After falls, skiers or snowboarders often slide on the slope and may collide with obstacles. Thus, the skier’s friction on snow is an important factor to reduce incidence and severity of impact injuries. The purpose of this study was to measure snow...
Clothing pressure influences the comfort, mobility, and welfare of dogs; however, quantitative evidence on how obesity affects localized garment pressure is limited. Using CLO 3D virtual fitting, we evaluated clothing pressure according to body condi...
The textile and clothing value chain faces increasing pressure to improve reuse and recycling rates, particularly in post-consumer scenarios, where garments must be rapidly assessed, classified, and routed toward appropriate end-of-life pathways. Pos...
This study presents new, knitted fabrics that combine woven and knitted structures to better control compression garments. This can be achieved by incorporating inlay yarns that utilize a woven configuration within knitted fabrics. As a result, this...
Approximately 80 percent of patients with limited mobility experience pressure ulcers (PU). Electrical stimulation (ES) is an effective therapeutic approach for PU prevention and treatment. This study reports the design of a custom-made adaptive garm...
The development of wearable electronic devices has greatly stimulated the research interest of textile-based strain sensors, which can effectively combine functionality with wearability. In this work, the fabrication of highly stretchable and compres...
Currently, there is no published research evaluating sizing methodologies for commercial sports compression garments (SCGs), so this study addresses the research gap by analysing sizing systems used for women-specific SCGs. Firstly, fit trials with w...
With the growing adoption of CLO 3D in the fashion industry and educational settings, the need for accurate material representation and fit simulation in virtual environments is increasing. This study aimed to evaluate whether CLO 3D, without the aid...
A wearable, low-cost, highly repeatable piezoresistive sensor was fabricated by the synthesis of modified-graphite and polyurethane (PU) composites and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Graphite sheets functionalized by using a silane coupling agent (KH55...
Pressure therapy combined with silicone has a significant effect on scar hyperplasia, but limitations such as long-term wearing of compression garments (CGs) can easily cause bacterial infection, cleanliness, and lifespan problems of CGs caused by th...
The garment industry demands stamping processes that are increasingly more agile and less damaging to the environment. In this scenario, digital printing, with the sublimation transfer printing technique, presents itself as a viable option for synthe...
Continuous monitoring of lower extremity muscles is necessary, as the muscles support many human daily activities, such as maintaining balance, standing, walking, running, and jumping. However, conventional electromyography and physiological cross-se...
Flexible and stretchable electronic yarn containing electronic components (i.e., hybrid electronic yarn) are essential for manufacturing smart textile garments or fabrics. Due to their low stretchability and easy interconnection fracture, previously...
Textile-based sensors have a broad application potential in technical textiles, e.g., for measuring temperature, strain, humidity, pressure, etc. Moreover, textile-based sensors represent a promising class of sensor technologies that open up new poss...
