Abstract
En 中文
It is generally accepted that blood flow in the superficial venous system of the lower extremity is anterograde whether the body is at rest (lying, sitting, or standing) or in motion (walking). However, it has been shown that during locomotion, anterograde blood flow in the superficial veins from the calf to the thigh was not observed. Instead, the blood flowed towards the intramuscular veins of the lower leg. The purpose of this study was to determine the pressure gradient directing the blood flow in the thigh venous network during ambulation.
