“Arterial bending” reduces popliteal artery shear rate. Popliteal artery shear rate measurements were performed while the subject was lying down in two different positions, each adopted for 5 min. Popliteal artery blood flow was also reduced by ~45% (data not shown). n = 8 *P < 0.05. [Modified from Morishima et al. (47).]
