Method and system for determining a tension value of a limb of a person and computer program

Determination system (1) for a tension value of a limb (5) of a person, the tension value of the limb (5) being used along with a skin value of the limb (5) for production of a custom-tailored compression garment for the limb (5), the skin value describing the circumference of the limb (5) without any applied compression and the tension value describing the circumference of the limb (5) with the compression garment applying a desired compression, characterized by

• an interface (8) for receiving the skin value of the limb (5), and
• a processor (9) for calculating the tension value of the limb (5) from the skin value according to a calculation instruction parametrized by at least one parameter, the parameter being derived from a dataset (11) stored in a storage means (12) of the determination system (1) and comprising multiple associated tuples of skin values and tension values.
