  5. Compression stockings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_stockings

    By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles, they force circulating blood through narrower channels. As a result, the arterial pressure is increased, which causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet. There are two types of compression stockings, gradient and anti-embolism. [2] Compression stockings

  6. LUCAS device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUCAS_device

    The LUCAS device delivers high-quality compressions at a continuous rate, while up to a third of manual compressions can be incorrect. [9] In 2013, a 68-year-old male made a complete recovery, including no intellectual or neurological deficits, after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest after 59 minutes of mechanical compressions on a LUCAS device ...

    This system does not apply peroneal nerve stimulation to enable locomotion. Instead, it activates all relevant lower limb muscles in a sequence similar to the one that brain uses to enable locomotion. The hybrid assistive systems (HAS) [36] and the RGO [37] walking neuroprostheses are devices that also apply active and passive braces ...
