This paper presents a synthesis of different studies willing to bring ascientific insight into leg compression, which is the process of applyingexternal compression forces onto the human leg with stockings or socks, forenhancing the venous flow. It seems obvious that the pressure distribution onthe leg affects the blood flow in the veins. However, the pressure distributionthat leads to the optimal blood flow is not trivial, and it is different withregard to the application: medical treatment or recovering after an effort insports. In order to improve the scientific knowledge about this topic, anumerical 2D model was set up for computing stress fields inside the leg,accounting for the actual material properties of both the compression stockingand of the leg biological tissues. Suitable identification methods, basedeither on model updating from digital image correlation (for the compressionstockings), or on image warping and model updating from MRI scans (for theinternal leg tissues), were developed for retrieving these material properties.
