Effects on subjective and objective endpoints (in case of POSAS and VSS as logarithm) in random effects ANCOVA adjusted for linear sequence effect using multiple imputation. Fit encompassed 6 items: limited mobility, pressure marks, pain, bad fit, inflexibility to the body, irregular compression; comfort 5 items: skin dryness, heat, touch stimulus, weight, difficult dressing; and suitability 10 items: restriction at work, home, hobby, social life, dressing, writing, using a computer, driving, eating, using a phone. [Manual: “Manual measure first” group, Standard: “Standard” group, Scan: “Scan first” group, CI: confidence interval, sO2: Oxygen saturation (%), Flow: Blood flow (AU), rHb: Relative hemoglobin (AU)].
