Why should compression stockings for the legs be gradient?

Gradient compression is specifically important to the legs. When we stand still the forces of gravity increase the pressure within the veins of the legs greatest at the ankle and decreasing gradually up the leg and body. This pressure depends on the vertical distance of the column of blood from the heart to the foot.

Gradient compression stockings are designed with the pressure greatest at the ankle and decreasing up the leg in order to counter the effects of the higher venous pressures.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
