Article Synopsis
- This study investigated a new method for measuring blood pressure in the thumb and toe to see if they could be reliable alternatives to traditional ankle-brachial and toe-brachial indices.
- The results showed that while there is some correlation between thumb pressures and brachial pressures, the reliability of the measurements varied significantly and wasn't strong enough for clinical use.
- Participants found thumb measurements more comfortable than brachial ones, suggesting that further research is necessary to better understand the potential of thumb pressures in clinical settings.
