Conclusion
副本
This protocol is uniquely significant because it's a non-invasive means of assessing intra-compartmental pressures in the leg. This can be important when evaluating an injured extremity, which may be at risk for compartment syndrome, a limb-threat

An ultrasound probe coupled with a pressure sensor is used to assess the intra-compartmental pressure of the leg by directly measuring the compartment fascia flattening pressure (CFFP). This non-invasive protocol will provide reliable assessment of the pressure inside the anterior muscular compartment of the lower leg.
