ANKLE PUMPER^® Assist

Product Overview - "Walk without Walking"
The Ankle Pumper^® Assist uses medically proven technology to help maintain good lower leg circulation and help prevent non-healing ulcers, blood clots and loss of range of motion.

The Ankle Pumper Assist helps you move your ankle with the same heel-toe motion that occurs while walking.  This motion, called dorsiflexion is the mechanism that pumps blood back to your heart.  Now you can achieve the increased blood flow that walking provides, even if you can't leave your chair.
