The effect of pre–measurement rest time on systolic ankle pressure measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results A significant drop in ankle pressure of 5.02 mmHg occurred between 5 and 10 minutes (p<0.05) however no significant change occurred between 10 and 15 minutes (mean change 0.15 mmHg, p=0.99). Presence of diabetes was associated with a smaller drop between 5 and 15 minutes (mean change 1.85 mmHg) and predicted 14% of the variance in change in ankle pressure (beta=-3.72, p>0.05). Test-retest reliability after 5 minutes was excellent (intraclass correlation co-efficient (ICC): 0.84) however increased for measurements taken at 10 and 15 minutes (ICC: 0.89 and 0.89 respectively).

Effect of Premeasurement Rest Time on Systolic Ankle Pressure
BACKGROUND Systolic ankle pressures are routinely measured as part of an ankle-brachial index to screen for lower extremity peripheral arterial disease. Despite widespread use of this measurement, the effect of premeasurement duration of rest on the magnitude, or reliability of the ankle systolic pressure measurement is unknown. This study assessed the effect of premeasurement rest duration on ...

Introduction: It is generally accepted that breast feeding has a beneficial effect on the health of infants and children. The evidence that breast feeding protects against obesity is inconclusive also the influence of breast feeding on blood pressure in later life is uncertain. The major aim of this study was to assess the association between method of infant breast feeding and components of t...
