Mandarin does not have specific words for saying âyesâ and âno.â Instead, the verb which is used in the Mandarin question is used to make a positive or negative reply.
A common test for checking the blood flow in your legs is called a PVR (pulse volume recording) study. During this test, cuffs like the ones used to measure blood pressure in your arm are wrapped around your arm and your leg on the same side of your body.Four cuffs are wrapped around your leg--1 at the upper thigh, 1 at the lower thigh, 1 at the upper calf and 1 at the ankle.uring this test, cuffs like the ones used to measure blood pressure in your arm are wrapped around your arm and your leg on the same side of your body.

Erica Brownfield, MD. Blood pressure measurement in the legs is achieved with an appropriate-sized cuff, applied at the midthigh, and by listening over the popliteal artery. If possible, the patient should be in a prone position. The bladder of the cuff should be about 40% of the circumference of the thigh, and the length should be about 75% to 80% of this circumference. Normally, the systolic blood pressure in the legs is usually 10% to 20% higher than the brachial artery pressure. Blood pressure readings that are lower in the legs as compared with the upper arms are considered abnormal and should prompt a work-up for peripheral vascular disease.
