lower limb affects pain etc..
Objective Examination
On observation
check for evidence of cellulites, edema, discoloration of skin, cyanosis or pallor, loss of hair, wound, etc...
Motor Examination
Should be done to access Range Of Motion and Muscle strength.
Sensory Examination
This is done mainly for light touch and pressure, includes Semmes Weinstein monofilaments to check sensation.
Temperature
Using palpation, thermistor, test tubes etc... and compare to the other side.
Usually the temperature decreases in arterial disorders.
Girth Measurement
done for edema
measurements should be taken in reference to bony prominences, volumetric is a quantitative system to measure edema.
Vascular Examination
Palpate for the pulses especially distal pulses.
Auscultation: Auscultate for identifying turbulent blood flow called bruit.
