Zusammenfassung:A leg blood flow stimulation system comprising a closed chamber, a low-frequency acoustic vibration-exciting speakers located on sides of the chamber, an array of high-frequency vibration-exciting piezoelectric bimorph transducers located in the chamber, in the plane of the chamber corresponding to the plane of the foot, corresponding to the sole support zone below the toes and the heel support zone, where each zone includes one to three piezoelectric bimorph transducers. The leg stimulation system is designed so that a person's legs up to the knees can be placed in a closed chamber and encased in a standard type of elastic splint type system. The feet are affected by bimorph type piezoelectric transducers connected to the controller, and the lower legs are affected by acoustic vibrations thanks to the speakers installed in the side walls of the closed chamber. In this way, the pulses sent from the controller control the synchronous operation of bimorph piezoelectric transducers and acoustic speakers, which activates blood flow in the tissues of human legs and increases the efficiency of blood flow stimulation.
