Abstract
A source of pressurized gas is attached to a dynamic pressure wave appliance. The pneumatic control circuit connects the source of pressurized gas to a first chamber of the appliance. When the pressure in the first chamber reaches a first predetermined level, a valve seals the first chamber and connects the source so as to inflate a second chamber about the first. When the pressure in the second chamber reaches a second predetermined level, a valve permits the first chamber to deflate while continuing to connect the second chamber for inflation. A valve for sealing the inflated sleeve discontinues the inflation of the sleeve when the pressure therein reaches a third predetermined level. The sequence of operation of the pneumatic control circuit will cause a suitable dynamic pressure wave appliance to apply a pressure to a human or animal extremity which begins at the most distant end and travels up the extremity in the nature of a pressure wave.
