Forearm elevation impairs local static handgrip endurance likely through reduction in vascular conductance and perfusion pressure: revisiting Rohmert’s curve by L. Heinzl, S. Risse, H. Schwarzbach, O. Hildebrandt, U. Koehler, A. M. Koenig, A. H. Mahnken, R. Kinscherf, W. Hildebrandt

“…Whether limb work positions associated with reduced perfusion pressure and facilitated vessel compression affect MICT is largely unknown. In 14 healthy young men we therefore assessed bilateral handgrip MICT at 15, 20, 30, 40, and 70% of MVC in horizontal forearm positions of 0.0, + 27.5 or − 27.5 cm relative to heart level. …”
