In this paper, the influence of the inlay-yarn insertion density into a knitted structure and of the area of a rigid element integrated into knitted orthopaedic support on a compression generated by the support was investigated.Abstract:
This study attempts to investigate the influence of the inlay-yarn insertion density into a knitted structure and of the area of a rigid element integrated into a knitted orthopaedic support on a compression generated by the support. The samples were made on a flat double needle-bed knitting machine with a laid-in structure knitted on a rib 1 × 1 pattern base, differing in the inlay-yarn insertion density. In general, research studies analyse compression and other properties of compressive stockings and do not investigate the influence of non-textile parts usually used in the knitted orthopaedic support. It was established that the linear density of the inlay-yarn has a visible influence on the compression generated by knitted support when inlay-yarn insertion density is every other course and less. When inlay-yarn is inserted into every course, the generated compression is the highest and the influence of inlay-yarn linear density on the generated compression is significant. It was found that compression...read more
