System, device and method for providing neuromuscular electricalstimulation (NMES) to muscles of foot. The device includes an electricalsignalgenerator for producing a wave pattern of variable frequency, duration,intensity,ramp time and on-off cycle. Device further includes surface electrodes forbeingpositioned over the foot muscles or around ankles and attached to signalgenerator. Signal generator is programmed to stimulate the foot muscles andnerves.Location of the electrodes and the programming are adjusted to reduce poolingof theblood in the soleal veins of the calf and enhance venous blood flow to preventdeep vein thrombosis (DVT), to enhance venous blood flow for thepost-thrombotic syndrome patient, to expedite wound healing, to reduceneuropathic pain ofthe foot and ankle, chronic musculoskeletal pain of the ankle and foot, andacutepost-operative foot and ankle pain, and to prevent muscular atrophy of thefootmuscles.
