- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The change in peak venous velocity as asssessed by Doppler ultrasound in the popliteal vein.[This will be assessed at baseline and after the trial participants have been seated for a 120 minute period.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The change in mean venous velocity as asssessed by Doppler ultrasound in the popliteal vein.[This will be assessed at baseline and after the trial participants have been seated for a 120 minute period.];The change in vein diameter as asssessed by Doppler ultrasound in the popliteal vein.[This will be assessed at baseline and after the trial participants have been seated for a 120 minute period.];The change in total volume flow as asssessed by Doppler ultrasound in the popliteal vein.[This will be assessed at baseline and after the trial participants have been seated for a 120 minute period.];The level of compression exterted by the graduated compression stocking at the ankle, mid-calf and below knee, as measured by a Kikuhime Pressure Monitor.[This will be assessed at baseline and after the trial participants have been seated for a 120 minute period.]
