Key inclusion criteria

Healthy adults

Key exclusion criteria

(1) Participants who have pain in the lower leg or any part of the same limb
(2) Those with acute inflammatory or suppurative diseases such as arteriovenous varicose veins, dermatitis, skin infection, burns, etc. in the limb to be tested

Results

Results: The rSO2 values increased significantly from baseline across all time periods. The values in periods 2, 3, and 4 were significantly higher than those in period 1 (p < 0.001), with no significant differences observed among periods 2, 3, and 4. Moreover, the T2 values significantly decreased post-intervention (Pre: median, 39.3; Post: 37.9; p < 0.001).

Baseline Characteristics

A total of 59 healthy adult volunteers (37 males and 22 females) participated in this study

Participant flow

Participants were screened based on the following exclusion criteria, and eligible individuals were enrolled in this study. The exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) individuals with lower-limb injuries or pain that could interfere with the use of IPCD; (2) those with cardiovascular, dermatologic, neurologic, or metabolic diseases (including diabetes mellitus); and (3) those with a history of deep vein thrombosis within the past 6 months, considering the risk of pressure-induced injury or thrombosis. In addition, individuals with implanted metal devices such as pacemakers, who could not safely undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were excluded. Furthermore, participants with a lower-leg subcutaneous fat thickness greater than 2 cm, as measured on axial T2-weighted MRI, were excluded because muscle oxygen saturation could not be accurately assessed under these conditions.

Adverse events

Two participants reported transient mild coldness in the toes of the right leg during IPCD intervention. Because these symptoms were tolerable and did not require discontinuation of the intervention, both participants completed the full protocol and were included in the final analyses. The symptoms resolved by the end of the intervention. Notably, no other adverse reactions were noted during or after the intervention.

Outcome measures

Tissue oxygen saturation, T2-weighted MRI, Interface pressures, Maximum lower leg circumference, Subjective fatigue level in the leg, Adverse reactions
