Impact of Active Ankle Movement Frequency on Velocity of Lower Limb Venous Flow following Total Hip Arthroplasty

Figure 3

Velocity of blood flow in the profunda femoris after active ankle movement prior to total hip arthroplasty (mean standard deviation). The velocity of venous blood flow after active ankle movement at 60 contractions per minute was significantly faster than those after active ankle movement at 40 and 80 contractions per minute (, repeated-measures ANOVA). The horizontal line indicates the time after active ankle movement.
