Finnish term or phrase: periferia sula
In medical reports, the phrase "periferia sula" (= "periferia on sula") sometimes shows up, as part of the basic assessment of a patient's condition.

I found a page suggesting that "periferia sula" means that the person's appendages are not swollen, but I'm not sure that's accurate, or that there isn't more to it.

How would you render "periferia sula"?
