Systems, devices, and methods for facilitating muscular benefit using
vascular occlusion are described. A device for providing vascular
occlusion to a limb of an individual is described herein. The device is
comprised of an inflatable band member, a pressure-inducing device, and a
pressure control device. The device is adapted to be worn over an
extended period of time either concurrent with exercise or not concurrent
with exercise. Additionally, methods using the device are described
wherein a limited pressure is applied to the limb and then maintained
over an extended period of time. Methods are also described using a
device wherein the individual applies the device to their limb, applies
pressure to the limb by tightening and securing the device, and leaves
the device in place over an extended period of time.
