Individuals thats suffer from conditions such as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), Edema, diabetes, venous leg ulcers, and Vascular Disease, face a number of complications, such as, muscular dysfunction, limited ankle range of motion (ROM), and diminished calf muscle pump function.
Ankle pump exercise therapy has been shown to improve calf muscle pump function and symptoms and may provide additional therapeutic benefits. It has been reported that structured exercise has the ability to improve ankle joint range of motion, calf muscle strength and calf muscle pump function.
FitFoot is a simple and effective solution that can achieve relief of these chronic conditions through assistance in ankle pump exercises that can reduce swelling in the lower legs, improve range and strenght, as well as decreases chances of blood clots in the knees and legs also known as Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Over 3 million people suffer from a sprained ankle each year and more than 23,000 people require medical care each day. These injuries are believed to account for 30% of injuries seen in sports medicine clinics. Treatment for long-term symptoms, or time away from work, can make up 69-87% of the total rehabilitation cost associated with lateral ankle sprains.
Decreased range of motion and strength resulting from an ankle injury are associated with an increased risk of re-injury as ranging from 40 to 70 percent. Inadequate treatment or repeated spraining can result in chronic pain, arthritis, or chronic instability of the ankle joint. Lack of plantar flexors flexibility appears to put patients at risk for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and associated knee injuries.
