Studying the in vivo microcirculatory adaptation to isometric contraction (dorsiflexion) in the human lower limb

Blood flow in the lower extremities varies considerably due to changes in pressure from muscle contraction as occurs with calf muscle pump activity. The dorsiflexion is associated with functional walking performance, and its relation with microcirculation of lower limbs has not yet been addressed. I...
