Figure 2From: Potential regenerative rehabilitation technology: implications of mechanical stimuli to tissue healthSchematic of the compression system. The mechanical portion consists of a series of hardware components which regulate the amount of air pressure delivered to the air cylinder and subsequently the load applied to the human tibia. The electrical system provides power to many of the mechanical components and links them to the data acquisition (DAQ) board. The personal computer (PC) and the DAQ board control the compression system and allow the user to program the compressive system.Back to article page
