Study to Use Change in Near Infrared Spectroscopy Assessment of Tissue Oxygenation During a Provocative Leg Maneuver to Assess Peripheral Artery Disease State.
Study to Use Change in Near Infrared Spectroscopy Assessment of Tissue Oxygenation During a Provocative Leg Maneuver to Assess Peripheral Artery Disease State.
The objective of this trial is to determine if Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can accurately evaluate the degree of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) during a Provocative Elevation Maneuver of the Lower Extremity (PEMLE) test, as compared to routine clinical assessments.
This study is designed as a prospective observational study to assess the effectiveness of NIRS to accurately evaluate the degree of PAD, as compared to routine clinical assessment, during the PEMLE test protocol. This will be a single visit study where subjects will be screened and enrolled during a regular clinic visit.
