As more and more of us are traveling by air you hear more about “economy class syndrome". This term is used to describe leg symptoms experienced by frequent air traveler on long trips. This symptom has been associated with a serious leg condition called DVT, deep vein thrombosis. By wearing gradient compression stockings a traveler can help to prevent the associated leg swelling and decreased blood circulation associated with extended inactivity in cramped conditions.
- You can reduce the risk of economy class syndrome by
- Stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages
- Get up and walk around the plane every hour
- Wear loose-fitting, non restrictive clothing
- Flex you legs when restricted to your seat to exercise the muscles.
- Talk to your doctor before a long trip to see if you are predisposed to any risk factor.
- Wear gradient compression travel socks.
- Gradient compression socks help prevent ECS symptoms by
- Gradient compression delivers a pressure at the ankle that gradually decreases as it extends up the leg.
