Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Electrical stimulation of the foot can increase blood flow out of the leg. This increased blood flow can prevent blood clots from forming in the leg veins. Blood clots in the leg veins can break off and form life-threatening blood clots in the lungs. Intermittent external pneumatic (air) compression of the foot is already used to increase blood flow in at risk patients. Hypothesis: Electrical stimulation of the foot increases blood flow out of the legs to the same degree as intermittent external pneumatic (air) compression of the foot.
