Circulation and the foot are not directly assessed by the population of the radial pulse. Instead, the radial pulse is used to evaluate the heart rate and rhythm. To assess circulation in the foot, healthcare providers typically check the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses, along with skin temperature, color, and capillary refill time. These assessments help determine blood flow and circulation in the lower extremities.
