Sažetak
Ischaemic states, claudications or compartmental syndromes of lower leg skeletal muscles can be detected in relatively early phase by use of bioimpedance measurements. Methods are noninva-sive, simple, not expensive and require not highly skilled staff and medical environment. However, main problems of these measurements are reliability and repeatability of results. As it is evident that con-stant current methods are better, it remains the choice between bipolar and tetrapolar techniques. Dilemma is: is it better to measure bipolarly, includ-ing problems with electrode’s impedance influence or tetrapolarly, including risk of poor repeatability, due to the small distance between electrodes (consid-ering human lower legs dimensions).
