A photograph demonstrating measurement of systolic blood pressure on the injured limb (ankle) using a Doppler probe (A) and systolic blood pressure on the uninjured upper limb (brachial) (B). The ankle brachial index (ABI) is calculated by taking the ratio of the Doppler systolic blood pressure in the injured limb (ankle) to the systolic arterial blood pressure in the uninjured upper limb (brachial). ABI = Doppler systolic blood pressure in the injured limb/systolic blood pressure in the uninjured upper limb.
