 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Air wave pressure treatment for 52 cases of treatment of elderly lower limb swelling [Abstract] Objective To observe the air pressure wave treatment for treatment of elderly patients with lower limb swelling effect. Methods elderly lower limb swelling our department 52 patients were compared using auxiliary air wave pressure treatment for limb circumference before and after treatment. Results limbs before and after treatment The perimeter of the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion air pressure wave treatment for treatment of elderly patients with lower limb swelling is effective, safe and economical characteristics. [Keywords:] air wave pressure treatment device; old; lower limb swelling Air wave pressure treatment device is a physical, non-invasive treatment instrument. Working principle is: use of booster pumps to increase nerve blood perfusion and oxygenation, oxygen consumption by increasing the nerve to achieve the purpose of improving the function [1]. lower limb swelling is a common clinical symptoms of the elderly, a common cause of venous insufficiency, varicose veins, arteriosclerosis caused by ischemic disease, fractures, soft tissue injury, diabetic foot, blood anticoagulant, lower extremity deep thrombophlebitis, heart function insufficiency, hypertension, idiopathic and other age-related lower limb swelling [2]. We use the pressure of the air wave treatment for treatment of elderly lower limb swelling, the effect is significant. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information September 2006 ~ June 2008 I closed the old dry 52 patients, 38 males and 14 females; aged 63 to 86 years old, average 68.8 years old.
