The reliability of toe systolic pressure and the toe brachial index in patients with diabetes
BACKGROUND The Ankle Brachial Index is a useful clinical test for establishing blood supply to the foot. However, there are limitations to this method when conducted on people with diabetes. As an alternative to the Ankle Brachial Index, measuring Toe Systolic Pressures and the Toe Brachial Index have been recommended to assess the arterial blood supply to the foot. This study aimed to determin...
متن کاملThe sensitivity and specificity of the toe brachial index in detecting peripheral arterial disease
Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is reported to affect up to 12% of the adult population and has significant health ramifications. PAD is associated with delayed wound healing and amputation. Podiatric vascular assessment plays an important part of identifying PAD. Traditionally, ankle brachial indices (ABI) have been used as a screening tool for non-invasive assessment of PAD howev...
متن کاملAssociations between the toe brachial index and health-related quality of life in older people
BACKGROUND Peripheral arterial disease is responsible for impaired health-related quality of life as a consequence of associated morbidity and mortality. The toe brachial index (TBI) provides non-invasive assessment of peripheral arterial health. Lower TBI values have been associated with foot ulceration, amputation and impaired healing, however, the relationship with health-related quality of ...
متن کاملInterrater and intrarater reliability of photoplethysmography for measuring toe blood pressure and toe-brachial index in people with diabetes mellitus
BACKGROUND A reliable tool to measure arterial flow to the feet in people with diabetes is required given that they are particularly prone to peripheral arterial disease. Traditionally, the ankle brachial index (ABI) has been used to measure arterial circulation, but its application is limited due to calcification of larger arteries. More recently, toe pressure and the toe brachial index (TBI) ...
متن کاملAnkle and Toe-Brachial Pressure Index after Exercise in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
In patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), the incidence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is high, leading to a severe condition; therefore, examinations that facilitate early diagnosis are necessary. The diagnostic accuracy of the ankle brachial pressure index (ABI) after walking, of which the cut-off value was corrected for HD patients, is higher than that of the ABI or toe brachial pressu...
