The leg has several pulses. The pulse in the groin fold is the femoral artery. The pulse felt behind the knee is the popliteal pulse. The pulses in the feet are the dorsalis pedis and the posterior tibial pulse.
There is not a special cuff to check pulse in leg; it just has to be big enough to go around the leg.
This could be a medical emergency. Leg could have circulation problems. If leg has no pulse, you could lose the leg. Go to the emergency room.
Of course! You have veins and arteries in your leg and you can feel the pulse of the blood going through them.
wear a cast on your are and leg and say it is broken
The pulse point at the knee is called the popliteal pulse. It can be felt behind the knee joint.
it is called the femoral pulse.
What causes the throbbing called a pulse?
Yes! Four different spots - Femoral pulse - at the top of your leg in the groin area in the centre of the leg Popliteal pulse - behind the knee (pretty deep so it can be difficult to feel) Anterior tibial - on the back part of the knobbly bit on the inside of your ankle Dorsalis pedis - on the top of your foot just back from your big toe
Tibial pulse or more technically the Tibialis posterior pulse.
If you have a knee or leg fracture, you check this pulse to ensure that the injury is not impeding blood flow below the injury.
It's called the apical pulse. For future reference: Radial pulse - at your wrist next to your thumb on both arms. Carotid pulse - at your neck. Apical pulse - at your chest. Brachial pulse - anticubital (opposite of the elbow side).
Very serious. Go to the hospital immediately.
