This study aims to investigate the interface pressure changes of single-layer with 10% circumferential reduction (S-10), single-layer with 15% circumferential reduction (S-15), and dorsal double-layered with 10% circumferential reduction (DD-10)pressure garments over time, their relationships with adherence and adverse events, and their effects on tactile gnosis.
Participants will:
1. Wear S-10, S-15, or DD-10 for at least 12 hours daily for four weeks 2. Measure interface pressure at baseline and weekly 3. Assess tactile gnosis at baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 4. Record adherence and adverse events using a self-report logbook
