Disclosed herein are exemplary embodiments of an impulse therapy garment
for use in pump therapy for enhancing venous and arterial blood flow. The
garment may be advantageously fitted to a human foot, and may include a
rotationally positionable heel-strap, an air inlet connector, separate
dorsum straps, or other features. For example, other garments may include
a washer having a center hole locatable around the stem and configured to
be forcibly retained against the outer surface of the fabric by snap-fit
using annular stem protrusions extending from an external surface of the
stem. In further embodiments, a garment may include a bladder retention
fastener configured to retain an end of the bladder to the fabric to
allow substantially differential movement between the fabric and
non-retained portions of the bladder during inflation and deflation of
the bladder.
