Haemodynamic Effects of Different Mechanical Compression Devices and Neuromuscular Stimulation in the Lower Limb
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Foot IPC, Rapid calf IPC, and 2 other interventions for Venous Stasis and Deep Vein Thrombosis. Completed, enrolled 10 participants.
Detailed Summary
In this study, four different devices which stimulate the blood in the lower extremities are used in ten healthy persons while measuring the blood flow with ultrasound. The aim is to study the haemodynamic effects in the lower extremities of each modality and also to compare those effects between the four modalities in order to identify those which most effective than the others.
