Danish term
trofik
Danish to English
Medical
Sentences:
Overekstremiteter: egal trofik tonus bilateralt
Underekstremiteter: der er frie led, normal tonus og trofik
The only similar words I can find in English seem to relate to food (trophic) or change (tropic), neither of which I could relate to examinations of a patient's extremities.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
