👉 Blood Flow Restriction Quick Start Guide - Step 7
.
🙂Test position
.
💁🏽‍♂️ Limb occlusion pressure often varies (as with blood pressure) according to the position it is tested.
.
👊🏽Current guidance recommends testing LOP in the position that the exercise is to be performed - .
🛏Lying down
.
🪑Seated .
🧍‍♂️Standing.

.
💧A small amount of ultrasound gel should be applied to the target arterial pulse region.
.
📐The head of the doppler probe is applied at a 45 to 60 degree angle to the surface.
.
🎈The Occlusion Cuff pressure is inflated from zero. Monitor arterial pulsations until they can no longer be detected. This is known as the limb occlusion pressure (LOP).
.
🌡Set the tourniquet pressure based on a % of the LOP. This helps minimise the risk of tourniquet related injuries.

🩸Using Doppler.
.
💁🏽‍♂️This takes a slight learning curve - Doppler should point towards the direction of blood flow and angled at 45 degrees approximately, to avoid arterial occlusion .

👊🏽Locating the pulse...
.
👉 Upper body - radial pulse is the most reliable option.
.
👉 Lower body - Check for either the dorsalis pedis pulse (on the top of the foot) or the posterior tibial pulse (located behind the medial malleolus — the ankle bone).
