摘要 |
The invention relates to exertion of an external pressure to a human body part (100). A proposed device includes a number of segments (S1, S2, S3) adapted to at least partially enclose the body part (100) in a form-fitting manner. Each segment (S1, S2, S3) is adapted to at least partially enclose the body part (100) in a form-fitting manner and apply an adjustable pressure profile to the body part (100). The pressure profile is produced in direct response to an electrical control signal (C(i)) by means of an electroactive-material-based actuator (A) in each segment (S1, S2, S3).
