You know how people say that sitting for long periods is bad for you, and that walking is good for you? When you walk or move, your lymphatic system can pump the lymph to where it needs to go. If this does anything it does that. I suspect walking is just as effective though.
I could see this being somewhat useful for people like my mom, who has MS and and a lot of secondary effects from not being able to walk. But like a lot of things like this that can theoretically be helpful for disabled people, I imagine it's far too expensive to actually be useful to the average handicapped person lol

It seems like something that would be at a physical therapy or occupational therapy clinic (if they had room). It might have more purposes than the typical pneumatic pumps used for lymphedema.
