Photo-reflex-rheographical method in the evaluation of elastocompression.

Abstract

The importance of a "compression-mobilization" association in order to attain a correct therapeutical procedure is stressed. The authors then report the results of a study conducted on patients affected by varices to establish the efficacy of a treatment by means of elastic stockings with graduated compressive pressure and the efficacy of reflex-rheography as a noninvasive, economical and easy-to-use method for the assessment of the variations in venous return flow produced by the association of muscular activity and elastocompression.
