Periferico

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
Hospital report for an elderly patient with dementia admitted following a fall:

"Polsi periferici isosfigmici. Periferico non valutabile con rigidità diffusa agli arti. Non ferite evidenti."

I feel like there's a word missing here before "periferico"?

I agree with you that there's something missing.
Peripheral pulses i fine for the first bit.
Then there's a peripheral something (in the singular. a "tono vasomotorio??) that can't be assessed possibly because of diffuse rigidity

Note from asker:
Hi Fiona. With it already saying "Polsi periferici isosfigmici" just before, how could they then be "non valutabile"?
Peer comment(s):
