Interface pressure applied by compression bandages is the therapeutic action of the treatment of some venous or lymphatic pathologies. The so-called Static Stiffness Index, which quantifies the pressure increase from supine to standing position, is usually used to differentiate compression bandages. It was hypothesized that this pressure increase was the consequence of a change in leg geometry (blood and muscle falling down) and a change in calf soft tissue mechanical properties (muscles contraction). Calf soft tissue global stiffness of both legs of 25 patients was characterized in a sitting and standing position. This characterization was combined with interface pressure measurements applied by six different bandages. Though soft tissue mechanical properties significantly increased from sitting to standing position, no correlation was observed with the corresponding pressure increase. Thus, pressure increase is mainly attributed to a change in leg geometry.
