Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and a device for determining the blood pressure, in which a pressure sensor is applied to an individual'"'"'s limb to detect the blood pressure prevailing in said limb. According to the present invention, the orientation of the limb is detected by means of an orientation sensing unit, and the detected blood pressure is corrected in an evaluating unit in response to the limb'"'"'s detected orientation.
