ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for reducing the risk of incurring venous thrombosis in operative, bed-ridden, and post-operative patients. The feet of a patient are dorsiflexed or otherwise "peddled" while the patient is anesthetized during surgery. This causes the calf muscles of the leg to move, which in turn prevents stasis of blood in the legs. The prevention of this stasis will reduce the risk of the patient to incur venous thrombosis.
