1 Introduction Compression therapy is widely used in the treatment of venous, arterial and lymphatic disorders [1-4]. Among therapeutic garments, medical compression stockings are the most common solution for lower limb treatment. These garments are typically manufactured from weft-knitted fabrics, whose loop structure provides high extensibility in both wale and course directions, allowing the fabric to conform to the shape of the leg [5, 6].
