A member asked:
Please help docs! where are peripheral pulses found in the human body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At the periphery !: The ends of limbs are generally where they are examined. Specifically at the wrists, maybe ankles and tops of the feet. The tops of the feet are easier so we generally use those and forget the ankles.
