Abstract
Disclosed is a wrap which is removably attached with a body part of a user to provide compression, and protection. The wrap includes first sensing unit, second sensing unit, movement unit, adjuster unit, and a power source. The first sensing unit senses the physiological state of the user's body. The second sensing unit measures the dimension of the body part of the user. The body part is selected from at least one of: wrist, ankle, lower back, knee and/or combination thereof. The movement unit receives sensed information from first sensing unit, and second sensing unit to support an inflate mechanism and deflate mechanism to provide desired compression to the body part of the user. The adjuster unit configured with the movement unit to engage or disengage the wrap from the body part of the user. The power source which further includes a rechargeable battery powers the first sensing unit, second sensing unit, movement unit, and the adjuster unit.
