“…Padberg et al 2 have investigated the hemodynamic effects of exercise by duplex ultrasound scanning and air plethysmography and reported that after six months of exercise, the calf muscle pump parameters returned to normal, but there was no change in the degree of reflux and the stage of the disease. In addition, Yang et al 4,5 have not detected any change in the venous reflux although there was an increase in ejection fraction and decrease in residual fraction in the air plethysmography measurements after six-week intensive exercise program. These studies show an improvement in the calf muscle pump function as in our study, but it is not obvious whether there is a significant change in the VRT.…”

“…1,2 In the study of De Moura et al, 3 it has been reported that walking speed, range of motion (ROM), strength, and functional capacities of patients with CVI were worse than those of normal individuals. Yang et al 4,5 have found that calf muscle strength and endurance of patients with CVI were insufficient compared to the control group of healthy individuals.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to observe the change of the ankle joint range of motion, the muscle strength values measured with an isokinetic dynamometer, pain scores, quality of life scale, and venous return time in chronic venous insufficiency diagnosed patients by prospective follow-up after 12-week exercise program including isokinetic exercises. Methods The patient group of this study comprised 27 patients (23 female, 4 male) who were diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. An exercise program including isokinetic exercise for the calf muscle was given to patients three days per week for 12 weeks. At the end of 12 weeks, five of the patients left the study due to inadequate compliance with the exercise program. As a result, control data of 22 patients were included. Ankle joint range of active motion, isokinetic muscle strength, pain, quality of life, and photoplethysmography measurements were assessed before starting and after the exercise program. Results Evaluating changes of the starting and control data depending on time showed that all isokinetic muscle strength measurement parameters, range of motion, and overall quality of life values of patients improved. Venous return time values have also increased significantly ( p < 0.05). Conclusion In conclusion, increase in muscle strength has been provided with exercise therapy in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. It has been determined that the increase in muscle strength affected the venous pump and this ensured improvement in venous function and range of motion of the ankle. In addition, it has been detected that pain reduced and quality of life improved after the exercise program.

“…In the literature, different researchers have used various diagnostic and measurement methods to demonstrate venous pump function and calf muscle insufficiency [18,21–23]. In this study, we preferred the use of PPG to measure calf muscle pump function and isokinetic systems to measure muscle strength.…”

Purpose The present study aimed to compare the isokinetic muscle strength and range of motion (ROM) values of the ankle between patients diagnosed with C 3 chronic venous insufficiency (group 1, n=57) and healthy individuals (group 2, n=30). Materials and Methods After identifying the venous refilling time (VRT) of all participants, the active ROM of the ankle joint and plantar flexion (PF) and dorsi-flexion (DF) muscle strength in the concentric/concentric mode at angular velocities of 60°/sec and 120°/sec were measured. Results No statistically significant differences were found between the demographic data of groups 1 and 2 (P>0.05). In total, 102 lower extremities were included in group 1 and 60 lower extremities in group 2. The VRT of the patients in group 1 was 15.5±5.6 seconds, the PF ROM of the ankle joint was 39.3°±9.5°, and the DF ROM of the ankle joint was 27°±8°; in group 2, the VRT, PF ROM, and DF ROM were 36±8.1 seconds, 41°±6.2°, and 27.2°±7.5°, respectively. Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of VRT (P<0.05); however, no statistically significant difference was observed in terms of ankle ROM (P>0.05). Statistically significant difference was found in terms of all parameters of isokinetic muscle strength measurements, such as peak torque, peak torque/body weight, total work done, and ratio (DF/PF) in group 1 (P=0.001). Conclusion The lower extremity muscle strength of patients with chronic venous insufficiency was low, and this weakness was prominent particularly in the direction of PF.

In order to evaluate the correlation between the pressure exerted by compression stockings and a resulting improvement in venous hemodynamics, we carried out an open, randomized, prospective study on 22 patients (11 women and 11 men with an average age of 55.1 [10.3]) with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in the clinical stages C1-4, Ep, AS, Ap, PR. Dynamic strain gauge plethysmography was used to measure the acute effect on venous hemodynamics of 9 different compression stockings in compression class 2 (A-D). At the same time when venous function parameters were monitored, we also measured the pressure exerted by the compression stockings during rest and exercise. With all compression stockings the average resting pressure fulfilled in reclined patients the specifications for compression class 2 (25-35 mmHg at the ankle, CEN). The compression stockings lengthened venous refill time t0 in a statistically significant degree. The improvement in venous function was correlated with the ratios of maximal working pressure to resting pressure while standing (r = 0.97, p < 0.001). Compression stockings belonging to the same compression class vary in their acute effect on venous hemodynamics. The efficiency of the different therapeutic compression stockings was largely dependent on the amount of fabric stretch, which can be characterized in vivo with the ratio of maximum exerted pressure during movement to that while standing still. A knowledge of the hemodynamic effectivity of the various compression stockings allows the optimal stocking selection for each patient and his individual clinical situation.
