Post-Occlusive reactive hyperemia can be tested efficiently with a minimal occlusion time of 10 s with hallux occlusion and 30 s with ankle occlusion in the foot. This can suggest that microcirculatory assessment is feasible in routine practice and can potentially be included for routine assessment of foot in people with diabetes.
