DOI: 10.1089/lrb.2018.0005
Abstract: BACKGROUND Evaluation of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in lymphedema is classically based on measurements of circumferences and volume of the edematous limb. However, although important, it provides only a general information without insight into what… read more here.

DOI: 10.1684/ejd.2022.4382
Abstract: Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) has established itself as a cornerstone in the combined decongestive therapy (CDT) of leg oedema, however, there is little evidence on the degree of volume shifts. We performed continuous volume measurements… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.1054806
Abstract: Despite substantial evidence of the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) treatments for range of motion (ROM) improvement, little evidence is available regarding how different IPC stimuli affect ankle dorsiflexion (DF) ROM. This study aimed… read more here.
