●● The calf muscle pump is responsible for ejecting what percentage of
lower extremity venous volume:
Answer: 60%
●● Ankle flexion helps to:
Answer: Activate the calf muscle pump
,Weight bearing motions will empty the foot. Ankle flexions will activate
the calf muscle pump

Answer: Muscle wasting
●● Stremmer's sign is used to dx:
Answer: Lymphedema
