Abstract
The simulated calf-muscle contraction induced a steep increase of CP with 5.65 mmHg/s (Q1 5.27 mmHg/s, Q3 5.92 mmHg/s), which was significantly (p = 0.013) reduced by MCS to 2.47 mmHg/s (Q1 1.65 mmHg/s, Q3 3.0 mmHg/s). Time needed to reach the max. CP was 11.35 s, which was lengthened by MCS to 23.4 s (p = 0.134). Compression therapy prevents capillary hypertension, the major hemodynamic reason for the development of advanced stages of chronic venous insufficiency which are defined by skin disease like hyperpigmentation, lipodermatosclerosis and ulcer.
