PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compression garment apparatus including a therapeutic bladder and a support bladder.SOLUTION: A compression garment includes an inflatable therapeutic bladder and an inflatable support bladder. A compression garment apparatus includes a compression garment and a pressurizer. The compression garment can be selectively positioned in a body part so that the therapeutic bladder covers a target compression zone of the body part. The pressurizer for selectively pressurizing the bladders by increasing a gas pressure in the bladders is connectable to the therapeutic bladder and the support bladder. The pressurizer includes: a sensor which senses and generates a signal indicative of at least one of physical characteristics selected from a group of characteristics comprising an orientation of the body part, a movement of the body part, an acceleration of the body part, a movement of the garment with respect to the target compression zone, a pressure in the therapeutic bladder, a pressure in the support bladder, a gas volume in the therapeutic bladder, and a gas volume in the support bladder; and a controller connected to the sensor to be operable. |
