A modified method of curve analysis in foot volumetry and its reference values.
Foot volumetry was introduced by Norgren & Thulesius in 1973 as a non-invasive method of functional evaluation of venous insufficiency. In the following paper we suggest a slightly different method of curve analysis, thus showing the possibility of reducing the methodological error by 30-40%. Based on healthy men and women between 15 and 75 years, new reference values are presented.
