Claim 18:
19. A wearable device for providing pressure therapy to a user, the wearable device comprising:
a wearable support to be worn by the user, wherein the wearable support includes an outer flexible layer and a plurality of bladder layers defining a plurality of inflatable regions capable of being separately inflated;
a pump operatively coupled to the plurality of inflatable regions to inflate the plurality of inflatable regions;
an inflator housing attached to the outer flexible layer of the wearable support, wherein the inflator housing has a base and a lid to enclose the pump inside the inflator housing so that the pump is mounted to the wearable support, and wherein the lid has an upper surface interfacing with the outer flexible layer;
a plurality of conduits to fluidly connect the pump to the plurality of inflatable regions, wherein the plurality of conduits extends through the lid of the inflator housing and through the outer flexible layer to the plurality of inflatable regions;
a plurality of valves operable to open and close fluid communication between the pump and the plurality of inflatable regions such that the plurality of inflatable regions can be separately inflated;
a controller coupled to the pump to control operation of the pump to inflate the plurality of inflatable regions, wherein the controller is operable to inflate and deflate the plurality of inflatable regions in a repeated pattern to provide the pressure therapy;
a display housing carrying a user interface and a display, wherein the display housing is separate from the inflator housing and is coupled to the wearable support such that, when the wearable support is worn by the user, the display housing is located adjacent a top of the wearable support and the inflator housing is located on a bottom of the wearable support and extends from the bottom of the wearable support; and
a power cable extending from the display housing into the wearable support.
