Use of hand‐held Doppler ultrasound examination by podiatrists: a reliability study

Abstract

There is a need for ongoing education for podiatrists using Doppler in clinical practice, as the reliability for the clinical use of the Doppler was low. This indicates that technique could be an issue. There is also a need to further evaluate if hand-held Doppler equipment, using the examinations that we evaluated, is suitable for use in the contexts examined in this study.
