    Abstract: An apparatus and method for treatment of patients suffering from lymphedema manifested at various locations of the human body. The apparatus includes a multiple chamber sleeve to be positioned in a wrap around fashion on a body extremity to be treated by compression therapy. The chambers are sequentially inflated and maintained so until all chambers are inflated and then all the chambers are simultaneously deflated so as to move edema fluids out of the afflicted area and to stimulate the lymphatic system. The apparatus also includes the capability to measure the biological impedance of the extremity under treatment as a treatment parameter as well as applying interferential therapy either alone or in combination with compression therapy. Advantageously, the sleeve chambers capture pressurized air when applied thereto, at designated locations, so as to form air pockets that can selectively apply isolated points of pressure, and in combination with the application of electrical current to a medical patient's affected area, provide effective lymphedema therapy without disrupting normal vascular and lymphatic functioning.

    Abstract: An active-passive rehabilitation device is disclosed providing natural and relatively unconstrained motion of the treated joint, which promotes drainage and mitigates edema in the extrema. This active-passive rehabilitation device enables the application of adjunctive therapeutic modalities such as cryotherapy units and pneumatic sequential compression devices. Electronic controls allow the active-passive rehabilitation device to be programmed to provide resistive load for Active Range of Motion or Active Resistive Range of Motion (AROM or ARROM) for prescribed therapeutic cycles. Speed, range of motion and therapeutic torque limitations are some of the parameters that may be user controlled and/or programmable. Historical data can be stored in the device and can be downloaded electronically in real-time or at discrete intervals, allowing caretakers to monitor progress and even modify load cycles via electronic communication means. The unit has a lifting provision, can be folded to accommodate storage, and has integrated stabilization and bed attachment devices.

    Abstract: A vest for a human body has an air core coupled to a pulsator operable to subject the vest to pulses of air which applies and releases high frequency pressure forces to the body. The pulsator has two diaphragms connected to a brushless electric dc motor with rotary to reciprocating linear motion transmitting mechanisms comprising scotch yokes having anti-lash assemblies operable to generate air pulses in an air pulsing chamber. The diaphragms also increase the pressure in a manifold chamber. A check valve connects the manifold chamber with a pulsing chamber to allow pressurized air to flow from the manifold chamber into the pulsing chamber. An air flow control valve in communication with the manifold chamber is used to adjust the pressure of the air in the manifold and pulsing chambers. A programmable motor controller adjusts the duration of operation and speed of the motor to vary the operational time and frequency of the air pulses.
