This is performed by embedding a stimulator that is designed to emit biphasic, square-wave pulses at safe and controllable frequencies and amplitudes within an article of clothing, such as a sock or stocking, and increasing venous blood flow which will be monitored though the incorporation of a sensor that enables blood velocimetry.
