Primary outcomePrimary: Venous Haemodynamic Measurements (Volume Flow Rate) — 119; 158; 158; 144 ml/min — p=<0.05
Summary
The most efficient way of electrically stimulating the calf muscles has not been identified. The investigators aim to investigate this using a matrix of electrical parameters, and measuring the outcome with vascular ultrasound of the leg.
