The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of four-limb compression on the psychological mood of recipients. Participants were eight middle-aged individuals with previous coronary artery disease, and 12 healthy controls. Each participant received 45 min of compression treatment each day for 15 days. Participants completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS) before and after treatment on days 1 and 15. Univariate data from the POMS were analyzed using a group by gender by day by time (2 x 2 x 2 x 2) ANOVA with repeated measures on the day and time. With the exception of fatigue, all of the tests of significance for the POMS sub-scales were insignificant. In the case of fatigue, only the interaction between day and time (p = 0.008) and the interaction between day, time and groups (p = 0.0006) were significant. The day by time interaction for healthy participants was not significant, but the day by time interaction for the cardiac participants was (p = 0.003). For the cardiac participants, a significant difference between pre and post-tests was observed on day 1 (p = 0.0004). Also, for the cardiac participants, a significant difference between days was observed for pre-test (p = 0.036). For the cardiac participants, it appears that applying compression treatment to the limbs results in a reduction in perceived fatigue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
