What Is Lymphedema Physical Therapy?

Air wave pressure meter is also called circulatory pressure therapy device, gradient pressure therapy device, limb circulation device or pressure anti-embolic pump, physical therapy. The air wave pressure therapy device mainly repeatedly deflates and deflates multi-chamber airbags in order to form circulatory pressure on the limbs and tissues, and uniformly and appropriately squeezes the distal end of the limb to the proximal end of the limb to promote blood And the role of lymphatic fluid flow and improve microcirculation, accelerate the return of limb tissue fluid, help prevent the formation of thrombosis, prevent limb edema, can directly or indirectly treat many diseases related to blood lymphatic circulation.

1. Safe, green and non-invasive, in line with the development direction of modern medicine.

2. Comfortable treatment.

3. The treatment cost is low.

4. The operation of the treatment equipment is getting simpler and easier, and it can be used by medical and domestic households, and the effect is guaranteed.

5. Multiple effects on certain diseases.

6, the treatment of diseases is becoming more and more extensive, such as Henan rehabilitation.

1 For upper and lower limb edema:

Primary and secondary lymphedema of upper and lower limbs, chronic venous edema, lipoedema, mixed edema, etc. Especially for upper limb lymphedema after breast surgery, the effect is significant. The principle of treatment is to promote blood circulation and lymph circulation, and squeeze some metabolites that cause pain, discomfort and inflammatory pain substances into the main circulation to remove them, thereby eliminating edema.

2 For patients with hemiplegia, paraplegia and paralysis:

Hemiplegia, paraplegia, paralysis, and long-term bedridden patients are prone to deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs due to slow blood flow and muscle contraction. Paralysis, spinal cord injury is the highest risk factor for deep vein thrombosis, with a 50-100% chance of it forming. Improper prophylaxis can lead to life-threatening pulmonary embolism, or swelling of the lower limbs, ulcers, and skin pigmentation. Apply air wave pressure therapy device, repeatedly pressurize the limbs and then release the pressure, so as to produce muscle contraction and relaxation, promote venous blood and lymph fluid circulation, and obtain a sufficient massage effect, prevent deep vein thrombosis and prevent lower limbs Muscle atrophy is significant.

3 For diabetic foot, diabetic peripheral neuritis:

The air wave pressure therapy device is used to pressurize the diseased limb sequentially. In the process of accelerating the return of venous blood and lymph tissue fluid, the lymph fluid and venous blood can be quickly driven to the proximal heart end of the limb, which reduces the pressure in the extremity tissue. During the time of gas evacuation, the arterial blood supply is rapidly enhanced, which can rapidly improve the blood supply and oxygen supply of the limb tissues, and remove the metabolites and inflammatory pain substances, which is more beneficial to patients with lower extremity arterial ischemia (diabetic feet, diabetes Peripheral neuritis, intermittent claudication).

4 For patients with diabetic feet, the use of a pressure pump treatment increases nerve blood flow perfusion and oxygenation, and increases the nerve oxygen consumption to achieve the purpose of improving function, so the limb numbness symptoms are significantly reduced, and the skin feel is more sensitive than before treatment . Usually 4 or 5 times of numb pain will obviously reduce or disappear.

5 For poor blood circulation to the limbs:

Air wave pressure therapy device uses intermittent pressure, through the repeated expansion and contraction of air waves, can improve blood circulation, increase skin surface temperature, expand the effect of activating blood vessels, help to prevent thrombosis and improve circulation, remove blood metabolism Waste, strengthen the limb oxygenation, and help solve diseases caused by blood circulation disorders.

6 For venous insufficiency:

For varicose veins, venous ulcers and other venous return problems, this air wave pressure therapy device is equivalent to a venous return pump. It uses gradient pressure, the pressure at the distal end is large, and the pressure at the proximal end is small. Some metabolites that cause pain and discomfort are squeezed out of the main circulation.

7 For the elderly:

Promote blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue, relieve pain, paralyze the rehabilitation of discomfort limbs, through the repeated expansion and contraction of air waves of the pressure gauge, it can significantly improve blood circulation, increase the temperature of the human skin surface, and achieve the effects of expansion and activation of blood vessels. Helps solve the root cause of diseases caused by blood circulation disorders.

1. Check whether the equipment is intact before treatment and whether the patient has bleeding.

2. Check the affected limb before each treatment. If there are ulcers or pressure ulcers that have not yet formed scabs, treat them after isolation and protection. If there are bleeding wounds, treat them temporarily.

3. The treatment should be performed with the patient awake, and the patient should have no sensory disturbance.

4. During the treatment, the skin color of the affected limb should be observed, and the patient's feelings should be asked, and the treatment dose should be adjusted in time according to the situation.

5. Explain the therapeutic effect to patients, relieve their concerns, and encourage patients to actively participate in cooperative treatment.

6. For elderly patients with poor vascular elasticity, the pressure value starts from a small age, gradually increases, and tolerates.

7. If the patient is exposed to limbs / parts, please pay attention to wear disposable cotton gown or sheath to prevent cross infection.

8. Therapists who advocate the use of positive pressure sequential therapy for the first time first try the device in order to have a regular dose for patients with sensory disorders.

9. Inspect patients during treatment to deal with abnormalities in time.
