To analyze regional blood flow, occlude the venous return with the blood pressure cuff (TSD120) and measure the swelling of the distal portion of the limb with a mercury strain gauge, otherwise known as a strain gauge plethysmograph (SPG). This Pneumo Plethysmography (PnuPG) test allows users to monitor changes from a baseline reading and compare responses from one subject to the next. Typically, the initial slope of the response is determined, and a series of measurements are taken, including:
