Microcirculatory Assessment of Arterial Below-Knee Stumps: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Versus Transcutaneous Oxygen Tension-A Preliminary Study in Prosthesis Users

NIRS is painless, complication-free, and feasible, with good reliability. NIRS evaluates others domain than TcPO2 that are more linked to metabolic adaptation. Its capacity to predict stump healing and tolerance to early prosthesis fitting is therefore interesting to estimate in future studies.
