There is disclosed a medical apparatus (500) for cyclically applying pressure to a foot comprising: a flexible fabric foot wrap (1A,1B,1A',401,501,601) formed from two sheets (3,4) and having an inflatable bladder (9A,9B,409,509,609) therein; a connector (11,411,511) opening into the inflatable bladder and suitable for connection to the source of pressurized fluid; said foot wrap having a first tab (5,405,505,605) formed from at least one of said two sheets for releasably securing the device to a human foot (100) about the arch, the first tab having a releasable connector (6,406,506,606) at its distal end; said foot wrap having a second tab (7,407,507,607) formed from at least one of said two sheets for releasably securing the device to a human foot about the heel, the second tab being generally perpendicular to the first tab, the second tab having a releasable connector (8,408,608) at its distal end; and said foot wrap having an exterior surface portion on one of said sheets compatible with said releasable connectors so that a connection may be formed when said connectors are pressed against said surface; pressure sensing means (40A,40B) for sensing the amount of pressure supplied by said source; and control means in communication with said pressure sensing means to adjust the amount of pressure supplied by said source. <IMAGE> |
