[Physical measures for the improvement of venous reflux].
The various physical methods are described which shall promote an improvement of the venous backflow from the lower extremities within the prevention of thromboembolism. Reviewing the recent results from literature the external pneumatic compression therapy is regarded as most effective method and a newly developed device for the intermittent pneumatic compression treatment is described.
