Circumference: (measured at these marks to try and capture an accurate representation of the site at which the cuffs would be applied)
3
Thigh - measure at 33% of the distance from the inguinal crease to the top of the patella. To monitor progress of the athlete it is also worthwhile takingmore girths; thigh( at 50% and 75%), calf (max) and gluteal (max).
4
Arm: measure at 50% of the distance from the acromion process to the olecranon process

BLOOD PRESSURE
7
LOWER - attach automatic blood pressure at the ankle (as per picture) to detect the pulse of the posterior tibial artery (e.g. Sanitas Blood Pressure Monitor, FitZone Solutions P/L, NSW, Australia)
8
UPPER - place on arm as per usual blood pressure

CALCULATION OF ATERIAL OCCLUSION - this part should be automated
10
The calculation of estimated arterial occlusion should be automatic.
11
A few different scenarios and pressure should be presented here.
12
50% of arterial occlusion Is typically what you are looking for. You can cross-reference to some other values which should be higher than 50% as these are based upon a more narrow cuff.
