It has been established that compression therapy making use of compression bandages is an efficient treatment for healing various leg ulcers, despite surgical strategies, electromagnetic therapy, and intermittent pneumatic compression. Venous leg ulcers are the most common type of ulcers and their prevalence increases with age. They are chronic and are caused due to poor venous return from the calf to the heart. [Pg.207]

Abstract— This paper discusses the prohlems for the development of the intermittent pneumatic compression system using an air pump/motor assembly and solenoid valve without using an air pressure sensor. Each problem faced during development was analyzed through experiment and proper solution was provided and tested. The experience described in this paper can be applied to the development of similar equipment. [Pg.344]

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is used widely for persons who have varicose veins of lower extremities [1], This method helps the blood flow in vein by compressing intermittently lower extremities with a pressure-controlled cuff [1] [2],... [Pg.344]

Most of problems occurred during the development of an intermittent pneumatic compression equipment was examined and proper solutions were provided through experiment. The final prototype was tested by prospective users and satisfied with the four conditions portability, low power, ease of use, and low cost. [Pg.346]
