AB  - The  use  of  compression  of  vasculature  for  therapeutic  purposes  has  been  around  since  the  1800s,  when  physicians  experimented  with  the  application  of  external  compression  to  improve  circulation.  A  paper  published  in  1917  in  the  Journal  of  the  American  Medical  Association  described  the  use  of  compression  for  thromboangiitis  obliterans.1  Today,  compression  devices  use  a  mechanical  pump  and  a  sleeve  to  deliver  intermittent  pneumatic  compression  (IPC),  also  known  as  vasopneumatic  compression.  Rehabilitation  practitioners  use  IPC  devices  as  an  intervention  for  patients  with  circulatory  conditions  and  with  a  variety  of  outcome  measures  (Box  8-1)  (Figs.  8-1  and  8-2).
