The human lower leg muscle pump functions as a flow diverter pump, maintaining low ambulatory venous pressures during locomotion
During natural locomotion, the muscle pump acts as a flow diverter pump, redirecting the flow of blood from the superficial veins to the intramuscular veins via the perforating veins. During ambulation, the pressure in the superficial venous network depends upon the capacity of the muscle pump to provide output that matches the changes in arterial blood flow.
