Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Good Health
Interventions
Procedure: Toe first
Procedure: Ankle first
Registration Number
NCT01750944
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the concordance of the variation in systolic pressure indices measured at the toe and ankle after a walking test in healthy volunteers.

Detailed Description

Our secondary objectives are:

* to evaluate the concordance between left- and right-side measures: systolic pressure indices measured at the toe after a walking test (healthy volunteers)

* to evaluate the concordance between left- and right-side measures: systolic pressure indices measured at the ankle after a walking test (healthy volunteers)

* to evaluate the concordance of the variation in systolic pressure indices measured at the toe and ankle during the recuperation phase after a walking test (5 and 10 minutes after end of walking test) in healthy volunteers
