Reproducibility and day time bias correction of optoelectronic leg volumetry: a prospective cohort study

Table 3 Comparison of the two leg volume measurements at visit 1*

		volume difference between the 1^st and 2^nd measurement
		absolute [ml]	relative [%]
leg_BD	left leg	+ 5.2 ± 12.4	+ 0.24 ± 0.52
	right leg	+ 9.5 ± 15.3	+ 0.42 ± 0.63
	*mean of both legs*	+ 7.3 ± 14.1	+ 0.33 ± 0.58
limb_BF	left leg	+ 29.2 ± 48.8	+ 0.52 ± 0.80
	right leg	+ 31.0 ± 48.7	+ 0.51 ± 0.79
	*mean of both legs*	+ 30.1 ± 48.5	+ 0.52 ± 0.79

* Leg volumetry was performed twice within 30 seconds in standing position after being sitting relaxed on a chair for a standardized time period of 15 minutes. leg_BD lower limb without the foot (from B-measure to D-measure), limb_BF leg volume without the foot (from the B-measure to the F-measure). Values as means ± SD
