Abstract

This second iteration of STRIDE is an evidence-based algorithm for compression selection, extended to cover the upper limb, trunk and breast. The STRIDE algorithm is patient-centred and complexity-informed, encompassing the site, shape and size of oedematous swelling; impact of tissue texture on textile types; 24-hour refill patterns; patient-specific issues; pressure dosage among other textile characteristics; and oedema etiology and staging. This article details the elements of the STRIDE algorithm and presents practical tools for its application.
