Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2842537A1] A pneumatic massage apparatus making it possible to perform even more efficient drainage is provided. The pneumatic massage apparatus 1 includes a massage device 2 to be fitted to wrap around an arm or leg of a patient and having a plurality of air chambers disposed in series in a proximal direction from a distal position of the arm or leg toward the center of the patient's body when the massage device is fitted around the arm or leg, and a compressed air control unit 4 supplying and discharging compressed air into and from the plurality of air chambers of the massage device 2. The compressed air control unit 4 has a means for pressurizing each air chamber by supplying compressed air thereinto, and a means for depressurizing each pressurized air chamber by discharging compressed air therefrom. The means for depressurizing is configured to depressurize the pressurized air chambers in such a manner that, of any pair of mutually adjacent air chambers, a proximal air chamber of the pair first starts to be depressurized, and then a distal air chamber of the pair starts to be depressurized.
