Abstract:
A device determines and displays compression values to be exerted by an orthosis upon the surface of a member and produces digital simulation (10) for simulating the action of the compression on the hemodynamics of venous return furnishing values of blood flow and/or of intravenous pressure at a number of points of a digital model representing the venous network of the leg of the member, which display is a value oriented graph containing a number of interconnected arcs, with each arc assigned a corresponding value of blood flow and/or intravenous pressure, and which compression values are furnished by simulation software based on morphological characteristics of the member and on dimensional and rheological characteristics of the orthosis.
