It is often preferred for shorter procedures on the distal limb, especially on the forearm, except when the patient was advised against tourniquet use.

The comparative morphology of the distal limb and foot structure of some representative terrestrial vertebrates reveals some interesting similarities.

The stiffer hoof reduces the foot's load attenuation capacity, rendering the horse unable to bear much weight on the distal limb.

As the name suggests, the distal limbs are most affected with symptoms of weakness.

It can also be combined with trichlormethiazide to treat horses with swelling of distal limbs and general bruising.

While it is shown to elicit vasodilation in the distal limb, evidence showing its efficacy at increasing perfusion in the laminae is lacking.

Athetosis can be secondary to sensory loss in the distal limbs; this is called "pseudoathetosis" in adults but is not yet proven in children.

Similar trends are apparent in the plots of proximal against distal limb elements in Fig. 3.9.

There is no unambiguous material of the skull, neck, anterior dorsal (forward trunk) region, distal (lower) limbs or feet.

Results from a study on patients with severe hemiparesis concluded that MT was successful in improving motor and sensory function of the distal hemiparetic upper limb.
