Classification of Young Women's Leg Shape Based on Compressive Stockings Nominal Measurement Point Data
In view of the problem of compressive stockings and human leg mismatch,which often occur in the use of pressure stockings,the Martin measurement method was adopted to collect the circumference and height data of 7 nominal measurement points of 324 young women aged 18~44 years old in their legs,and 14 leg variables data were obtained.The principal component factors affecting the leg shape of young women were extracted by factor analysis,and three factors including circumference factor,leg height factor and ankle height factor were extracted.The scores of these three factors were used as clustering variables for K-means clustering,the silhouette coefficient was used as an index to evaluate the clustering results,and finally the leg shape of young women were divided into five types:long leg length and medium circumference type,slightly short and lean type,slightly high and lean type,short and fat type,medium leg length and slightly fat type,and each leg type accounted for 22.22%,19.14%,19.14%,16.05%,23.45%of the sample size,respectively.The leg-type classification results based on the nominal measurement point data of the compressive stockings provide a reference and theoretical basis for defining the compressive stockings size.
