Um, possibly to enhance patient care??? No obtaining an ACCURATE ABI is not a simple task. But it was and is one of our first and best tools for assessing lower extremity vascular impairment. I doubt training MA's or other capable professionals to perform this procedure threatens our profession. I have taught many different people how to do this, (as well as the difference between an arterial and venous Doppler signal) Perhaps my favorite students were Podiatrists. But I was grateful to teach anyone who really cared.
