Abstract The cross-sectional area of a limb varies along the extremity. This is of great importance when impedance plethysmography is used for limb blood flow studies. The actual measurement site, as well as the interelectrode distance, must be carefully selected to avoid underestimation of the blood flow value. The distance between the potential electrodes should be less than 10 cm for an adult subject.
