Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Venous and arterial duplex ultrasound haemodynamic measurements were taken in 10 and 20 healthy volunteers, respectively. Mean age 38.7 (range 21\u201364), ankle brachial pressure index 0.9\u20131.0. At 15\u2009min, there was a significant increase in venous median blood flow (88.3\u2009cc\/min, p\u2009=\u20090.014) and an increase in time averaged mean velocity (1.13\u2009cm\/s, p\u2009=\u20090.065) compared to baseline. Similarly, there was a significant increase in arterial median blood flow (38.7\u2009cc\/min, p\u2009<\u20090.0001) and time averaged mean velocity (2.21\u2009cm\/s, p\u2009=\u20090.0003) at 15\u2009min compared to baseline. There was no significant difference in venous or arterial measurements compared to baseline after stimulation cessation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Blood flow and time averaged mean velocity increased during neuromuscular electrical stimulation but returned to baseline once stimulation had stopped. By improving blood flow, neuromuscular electrical stimulation has the ability to enhance venous return, counteract venous stasis and improve limb arterial inflow.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0268355514542682","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,4]],"date-time":"2014-07-04T22:59:25Z","timestamp":1404514765000},"page":"648-650","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["The effect of footplate neuromuscular electrical stimulation on venous and arterial haemodynamics"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Lavanya","family":"Varatharajan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Section of Vascular Surgery, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Section of Vascular Surgery, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hayley","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Section of Vascular Surgery, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alun Huw","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Section of Vascular Surgery, Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0268355514542682","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20758"},{"key":"bibr2-0268355514542682","first-page":"567","volume":"30","author":"Bogachev VY","year":"2011","journal-title":"Int Angiol"},{"key":"bibr3-0268355514542682","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/86.559350"},{"key":"bibr4-0268355514542682","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2010.08.059"},{"key":"bibr5-0268355514542682","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1358863x02vm423oa"},{"key":"bibr6-0268355514542682","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Williams K, Moore H and Davies A.
