COMPRESSION GARMENT APPARATUS HAVING BASELINE Abstract A compression garment apparatus (20) comprising a compression garment (22) including an inflatable therapeutic bladder. The compression garment selectively positionable on a body part (L) of a wearer so the therapeutic bladder covers a target compression zone on the body part. A pressurizer (24) is operatively connectable to the therapeutic bladder (26A 26C) for selectively pressurizing the therapeutic bladder by increasing gas pressure within the therapeutic bladder to provide therapeutic compression therapy to the target compression zone on the body part. The pressurizer including a sensor (48) configured for sensing and generating signals representative of at least one physical characteristic of the wearer; and a controller (24B) operatively connected to the sensor. The controller programmed to execute a compression regimen including successive compression cycles to provide intermittent compression therapy to the compression zone. The compression cycles each including an inflation phase during which the controller directs pressurized gas (24A) to the therapeutic bladder and a vent phase during which the controller allows gas to vent from the therapeutic bladder. The controller maintaining a baseline pressure in the therapeutic bladder to maintain the therapeutic bladder in position with respect to the target compression zone, the controller adjusting the baseline pressure in response to signals received from the sensor representing the at least one physical characteristic of the wearer. |
