I suppose you could just do the leg positions and keep arms close or lower...I didn't think of that before.
My old treadmill had the finger pinch pulse thing, it was interesting to put it on and slowly raise my arms then see it totally stop registering a pulse..

Yep, thats what I do with my wrist cuff pulse reader. I did it to check if my bloodflow had resumed with certain arm positions after my op. BINGO:
left arm ( unoperated...... loses pulse ), right arm ( operated...... pulse).
Its reassuring to see that there is full blood flow BUT frustrating that I still get numb hands BOTH sides while sleeping???????
Maybe thats because it was always a neuro issue and not blood circulation making the hands go dead???????
That's definitely a question to pose my neurologist with.
