"In summary it can be said that an apparative massage (intermitting compression) brings
about not only a signifi cant reduction in the volume of a swollen extremity through loss of
water but also an improvement and an acceleration in the fl owing of lymph. By reducing
the oedema, the blood circulation is improved." (p
...
"A pressure bandage or intermitting compression of an extremity makes the vein capac-
ity calculable by eliminating the elasticity of the veins. This gives rise to a network of com-
municating tubes consisting of arteries and veins. This network obeys the rules of physics
fi rstly inasmuch as the remaining pressure in the arteries and the suction from the
diaphragm can now contribute a great deal to the circulation and the fl owing back of the
blood to the veins and secondly inasmuch as this cannot occur in the non-compressed leg
where the blood can clot in the basin formed in the overstretched vein. A resting circula-
tion at an extremely high level results, acting as a platform for a now incomparably more
effi cient performance by the pump-like mechanism of the muscles and the joints." (p

"Intermitting compression is a valuable asset in the prevention of thrombosis including
orthopaedic surgery." (p
...
"The effects of intermitting compression are not limited to merely fi lling and emptying
the system of veins in the lower leg. In addition, certain biochemical changes take place,
for example there is an increase in the fi brinolysin and an infl uence is exerted on the
mechanisms that control the circulation of blood in the leg." (p

"If the circumstances warrant it, then intermitting apparative compression is an effective
method that has hardly any side effects and makes a sensible and inexpensive contribu-
tion to the basic therapy."

"During treatment with intermitting compression, waves of pressure are produced at set
intervals with the help of cuffs fi lled with air. This simulates the pump-like effect that the
muscles in your leg have when you exercise. The blood in the veins can fl ow back better,
the extracellula fl uid that has accumulated is set in motion and can be fl ushed out. Prof.
Altenkämper: 'The patients obtain relief from their pain and the feeling of heaviness in
their legs.'"
