Abstract

The present invention relates to a support system for a body part including a compression device in combination with a lower leg protection system. The support system comprises: an inner positioner (14) formed of bladder (13) including fluidized material therein which can retain its shape after sculpting; an outer support (52) comprising a top layer, a first intermediate layer, a second intermediate layer, and a bottom layer; a first plenum formed between the top layer and the first intermediate layer, the top layer includes perforations; a first valve connected to the first plenum and a first pump, said first pump providing air through the first valve to said first plenum to create air flow into the plenum and out through the perforations; a second plenum formed between the first intermediate layer and the second intermediate layer and second pump, a second valve connecting to the second pump, said second pump provides air to the second plenum to inflate said second plenum in an intermittent or sequential manner; and a third plenum formed between the second intermediate layer and the bottom layer, said third plenum containing a fixed amount of static air.The outer support can include a rigid outer shell for providing support.
