The gravimetric plethysmograph measures blood flow in the limb in terms of the increase in weight which follows temporary venous occlusion. Following validation of the device, blood flow in the leg was evaluated in normal subjects and in patients with intermittent claudication. Measurement of the immediate hyperaemic response to a three-minute period of arterial occlusion proved to be very reproducible in patients with occlusive arterial disease of the legs.
重量体积描记器通过测量肢体在短暂静脉闭塞后重量的增加来测定肢体血流量。在该设备经验证后，对正常受试者和间歇性跛行患者的腿部血流量进行了评估。结果证明，在患有下肢闭塞性动脉疾病的患者中，测量对三分钟动脉闭塞的即时充血反应具有很高的可重复性。
