Effect of rhythmically inflating a pneumatic cuff at the ankle on blood flow in the foot

R. Andrew Loane 1

1 Department of Physiology, The Queen's University of Belfast, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Rhythmic inflation to 110 mm Hg of a pneumatic cuff around the ankle of a seated subject reduces the venous pressure in the foot and is found by three methods, venous occlusion plethysmography, heat flow and calorimetry, to increase the rate of blood flow through the foot. The increases measured by the three methods are not, however, in quantitative agreement and it is not possible to decide how large the increase may be. It is considered, however, that the increase in flow is probably of the same order as the increase in perfusion pressure and not greatly in excess of this increase.
