Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects three cuff widths (5 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm) have on arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) in the arm. A secondary purpose was to determine if arm circumference, blood pressure, arm length, and sex should be accounted for when applying these cuff widths. Two hundred and forty-nine participants visited the laboratory one time to measure arm length, arm circumference, brachial systolic (bSBP) and diastolic blood pressure (bDBP) folloby assessment of standing AOP as determined by a Doppler probe. One way repeated measure ANOVAs were used to examine differences between cuff widths …
