Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The lower limb volume measured by the Perometer on the same day and at the same time is compared with the lower limb volume calculated by the 5-point method of the circumference measurement method and the lower limb volume calculated by the 10-point method, and the correlation and error are tested.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Compare the perimeter of the lower limbs measured by the perometer with the perimeter of the lower limbs measured by the 5-point and 10-point methods.
