The results of a 1-year experimental program to develop and evaluate fabric constraint layers for pressurizable suits are described. The principal object of the development was to produce soft-pressure-suit components with minimum constraint to motion and with maximum range of motion. A secondary goal was to develop joint designs that allow the user to maintain displaced positions of the limbs with minimum use of sustaining force.
