Comparison of impedance and strain gauge plethysmography in the measurement of blood flow in the lower limb.
Simultaneous measurement of the flow of blood in the calf in 24 normal volunteers by impedance and mercury strain gauge plethysmography has revealed a systematic difference in the results from the two methods. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
