Terminology: resistance or stiffness for medical compression stockings?
Based on previous experimental work with medical compression stockings it is proposed to restrict the term <em>stiffness</em> to measurements on the human leg and rather to speak about <em>resistance</em> when it comes to characterize the elastic property of compression hosie...
