Pedal pulses are easy to check, but you have to know where exactly to check for the pulse otherwise you will not be able to read anything. Pedal pulses are to be checked on top of the foot. IF the pulse is low then it means that you are having bad circulation and you need to get it checked as soon as possible. Even many qualified nurses find it difficult to check for pedal pulses and so if you cant find a pulse, don’t despair. If you look for it correctly then you will be able to find the pulse.
