Abstract
A device and method coupled to a therapy garment to apply pressure and repetitive compression forces to a body of a person has a positive air pulse generator and a user programmable time, frequency and pressure controller operable to regulate the duration of operation, frequency of the air pulses and a selected air pressure applied to the body of a person. The air pulse generator has rigid displacers that are angularly moved with power transmission assemblies to draw air into the air pulse generator and discharge air pressure pulses to the therapy garment.
Claims11
An apparatus for applying pressure and high frequency pressure pulses to the thorax of a person, comprising:
- an air pulse generator having user programmable controls;
- a garment adapted to be located on the thorax of the person for subjecting the thorax of the person to pressure and high frequency pressure pulses;
- and
- only one hose coupling the air pulse generator to the thoracic garment for transmitting air pressure and pressure pulses from the air pulse generator to the thoracic garment.
An apparatus for applying pressure and high frequency pressure pulses to the thorax of a person, comprising:
- an air pulse generator having user programmable controls;
- a garment adapted to be located on the thorax of the person for subjecting the thorax of the person to pressure and high frequency pressure pulses;
- and
- fewer than two hoses coupling the air pulse generator to the thoracic garment for transmitting air pressure and pressure pulses from the air pulse generator to the thoracic garment.
