Primary outcomePrimary: Blood Flow - Peak Systolic Velocity (cm/Sec) — 14.1; 29.5; 161.6; 39.0 cm/s
Summary
In this study, four different devices which stimulate the blood in the lower extremities are used in ten healthy persons while measuring the blood flow with ultrasound. The aim is to study the haemodynamic effects in the lower extremities of each modality and also to compare those effects between the four modalities in order to identify those which most effective than the others.
