A cramping pressure at or below 200 mmHg is a functional sign of inadequate calcium in the neuromuscular system. A pressure reading of 220–240 mmHg indicates an optimal calcium level. The test amplifies latent cramping tendency by artificially inducing pressure on the calf muscle with a blood pressure cuff. The test exploits calcium deficiency's tendency to cause muscle cramps at rest to make deficiency visible. The test should not be performed by people with peripheral vascular disease.
