Strain Gauge Plethysmography
Strain Gauge Plethysmography is a standardized technique to measure flow and vascular resistance by using a special transducer (strain Gauge) placed on the forearm and use of two inflated blood pressure cuffs proximal and distal to the site for the temporary occlusion of either venous or arterial flow. This technique also has been used to assess endothelial dysfunction by measurements of blood flow volume and rate of flow into the forearm.
