Figure 2. Pleasantness ratings for pressure on five body locations.

Figure 2.

Box plot of pleasantness ratings for static pressure pulses showing the third quartile and first quartile range of the data. Lower and upper error lines display the 5th and 95th percentiles. Pressure pulses of 30, 50, 70, and 90 mmHg were applied to the wrist, forearm, bicep, ankle, and calf on the non-dominant side using commercially available lymphedema compression sleeves. Healthy adult participants provided pleasantness ratings for each body location/intensity combination. The VAS scale ranged from 0 (no pleasantness) to 100 (most extreme pleasantness imaginable).
