First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested how different levels of leg compression affect blood circulation in 30 adults after surgery. Participants received three pressure levels (low, moderate, high) on their calves, and blood flow was measured non-invasively. The goal is to gather early evidence for more personalized compression therapy to prevent swelling and blood clots.
