Impact of Prolonged Sitting on Central Hemodynamics: Role of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Therapy
… For mechanistic insight, intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) was applied during sitting (i.e., 3, 120 mmHg compression cycles per minute, 30 mins on/off) in a sub-set (N=9). <strong>Results:</strong> During sitting, there was no change in heart rate (P>0.05); however, it tended (p=0.079) to …

Design of an Intelligent Compression Stocking for Reducing Ulcer Healing Time
… incurred as a result of prolonged healing time. Compression therapy is known to promote recovery. This technique may be improved by allowing for dynamic customization of treatment parameters. The design of a sensing system for an intelligent compression stocking is described in this thesis. This …
