A Method to Improve the Accuracy for the Comparison of Consecutively Determined Upper Limb Cross-Sectional Area Profiles of Test Subjects: Impact on (Segmental) Limb Volume and Local Limb Circumference.

Chronic edema management depends on measuring small volume changes over time. Therefore, a highly sensitive, accurate, and reliable technique is needed to objectively judge sequential measurements. The prototype of the Peracutus Aqua Meth (PAM), a new volumetric measuring device, was used in an experimental study.

New Device to Measure Cross-Sectional Areas and Segmental Volumes of Objects and Limbs.

Purpose: High accuracy volume measurements have important implications in different medical and non-medical situations. All methods used to date have challenges to achieve a usable clinical accuracy. Moreover, current methods have limitations to measure segmental volumes.

Estimates for Assessment of Lymphedema: Reliability and Validity of Extremity Measurements.

Measuring lymphedema with high accuracy is important for several reasons. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of three routinely used methods to estimate limb volumes. Inverse water displacement, girth measurements, and Perometer measurements were executed.
