Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Difference in peak venous blood velocity of popliteal vein 2 hrs after passive leg exercise from the baselineTimepoint: 2 hrs after passive leg exercise from the baseline and 24hrs of wearing compression stockings

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Cross sectional area of common femoral veinTimepoint: Baseline, 24hrs after stockings, 2hrs after passive leg exercise;Cross sectional area of popliteal veinTimepoint: Baseline, 24hrs after stockings, 2hrs after passive leg exercise;Peak venous blood velocity of common femoral veinTimepoint: Baseline, 24hrs after stockings, 2hrs after passive leg exercise;Time averaged mean velocity of common femoral veinTimepoint: Baseline, 24hrs after stockings, 2hrs after passive leg exercise;Time averaged mean velocity of popliteal veinTimepoint: Baseline, 24hrs after stockings, 2hrs after passive leg exercise;Time averaged peak velocity of common femoral veinTimepoint: Baseline, 24hrs after stockings, 2hrs after passive leg exercise;Time averaged peak velocity of popliteal veinTimepoint: Baseline, 24hrs after stockings, 2hrs after passive leg exercise
