摘要：
Apparatus and methodologies are provided for the mitigation and prevention of venous thromboembolism-related disorders resulting from by venous blood stasis. More specifically, repeated cycles of brief bouts of intermittent electrical stimulation are repeated every several minutes to contract at least one target muscle, causing a temporary increase in venous blood flow and blood velocity in the veins in the region of the target muscle(s). The present intermittent electrical stimulation paradigm may be used to mimic physiological responses following voluntary contraction of the target muscle(s), without fatiguing the muscle(s).
