Footrest for prevention of disorders of venous blood flow: of varicose vein and deep vein thrombosis of feet

Abstract

The invention concerns medicine and hygiene areas. Footrest for prevention of disorders of venous blood flow (of varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis of feet), comprising: the support (supports) of feet, which allows to do simple prophylactic motions by feet in ankle joint and also allows to regulate the amplitude of described motions of feet; a unit of sound-alarm; an alarm-lamp; the communication interface; a sensors, which allows to measure amplitude, frequency and quantity of motions of the feet in ankle joint; a device of control, which capable to compare amplitude, frequency and quantity of motions of the feet in ankle joint, executed by user in certain interval of time, with preset parameters (for which there is no stagnation of blood and there is no creation of blood clots in veins of feet) and capable (if measured data are not conforms to preset parameters) activate the unit sound-alarm and an alarm-lamp for reminding the user of necessity of renewal of prophylactic exercises of feet or capable transmit the alarm message through communication interface.

1 . Footrest for prevention of disorders of venous blood flow, of varicose of vein and of thrombophlebitis containing the basis and support of feet which allows to make simple motions by feet in ankle joint and to regulate amplitude of described motions of feet by height of installation of a support concerning the support basis, but DIFFERS FROM THE EARLIER ONES because the footrest includes:
 the elements of sound-alarm, alarm-lamp and (or) by the computer interface;   the sensors which can to define of the fact that user makes motions of feet in ankle with the needed amplitude and which can to supervise frequency and quantity of such motions;   the control device, capable to compare frequency and quantity of such motions of the feet which executed by the user during certain intervals of time, with preset boundary conditions at which there is no stagnation of blood and there is no creation of blood clots in veins of feet. If measured parameters is not conforms to boundary conditions, the control device actuates sound-alarm and alarm-lamp, or downloads the information onto the screen of monitor of the computer (or onto the TV screen) for reminding the user of necessity of renewal of prophylactic exercises or transmits signals onto remote terminal of monitoring of muscular activity of feet of the user.
