Abstract
A medical device for applying a cyclic therapeutic action to a subject's foot, the device including a platform with at least three independently actuable inflatable bladders staggered therealong to solely underlie the subject's heel, his plantar arch and his foot's front portion including its metatarsals and its toes, respectively, whereby a traveling compressive wave can be cyclically applied to his foot's underside only.
Claims26
A medical device apparatus that facilitates blood circulation in a subject's lower limb by motivating physiological actuation of active motorical mechanisms, the device comprising:
- a boot having a sole having an upper surface;
- an inflatable chamber disposed atop the sole;
- a channel recessed in the upper surface of the sole;
- and
- a pressure source coupled to the inflatable chamber, the pressure source configured to cyclically inflate and deflate the inflatable chamber.
A device for facilitating blood circulation in a subject's lower limb by actuating passive motorical mechanisms and motivating physiological actuation of active motorical mechanisms, the device comprising:
- a boot having a sole having an upper surface;
- a plurality of inflatable chambers disposed atop the sole;
- a plurality of channels recessed in the upper surface of the sole;
- and
- a pressure source coupled to the plurality of inflatable chambers, the pressure source configured to cyclically and independently inflate and deflate the plurality of inflatable chambers.
