Various techniques may be used to assess leg edema. The value of these investigations has been discussed in depth in the consensus statement made in Vaux de Cernay in 1997 and supported by Servier Research Group. These techniques can be classified into three groups: The most simple is leg circumference measurement, which can be assessed by a tape measure, or more rigorously with a Leg-O-Meter.

The authors presented 1642 cases of professional diseases caused by vibrations (VD) and 435 cases of extremity overload disease (EOD) diagnosed in the years 1974-1993. In addition to the standard rheoplethysmography there were evaluated the results of digital laser Doppler flowmetry (Moor instruments, UK) in 104 workers exposed to vibration (EV) and 25 controls with the age and smoking habit standardisation. In the selected subgroup were used continual measurements of digital blood pressure (Finapress, Ohmeda), digital LD flux and speed and the measuring of digital skin and central body temperature simultaneously.

The use of the RPG in the qualitative and quantitative study of the state of the intact digital vasculature of intact man is illustrated and emphasized. Rheoplethysmography is the only method for quantitatively recording continuously and simultaneously the volumes and rates of inflow, outflow and the differences between inflow and outflow and the rate of basal blood flow in the digits of intact man or in any organ or tissue that can be isolated in a plethysmographic cup. The effects of psychogenic and neurogenic factors on the peripheral circulation of man were studied with the RPG, and the results demonstrate how useful this method is for such studies of the fingertip.
