1. A system for applying compression treatment comprising: a garment sized and shaped to be wrapped around substantially a body part of a wearer, said garment comprising one or more selectively inflatable bladders for applying compression to the body part upon inflation; one or more fasteners for securing the garment in a self-retaining wrapped configuration around the body part; at least one capacitive sensor formed on the garment, said sensor generating a signal indicative of a gap between the garment and the body part when the garment is in the wrapped configuration; and a compression control unit, said control unit comprising: a pump for pressurizing fluid; an outlet port in fluid communication with the pump, said outlet port having fluid tubing connected thereto for delivering pressurized fluid to the inflatable bladders; and one or more processors receiving and responsive to the signal from the capacitive sensor for evaluating an overall fit of the garment on the body part based on the gap between the garment and the body part.
