Calf raise exercise increases walking performance in patients with intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Symptoms of intermittent claudication (IC) are improved by exercise. The improvement might be secondary to increased blood perfusion or increased muscle mitochondrial capacity. Ischemia followed by reperfusion, also named preconditioning, is known to stimulate the mitochondria. We focused on a calf raise exercise inducing preconditioning in the calf muscle of patients with IC. We hyp...
متن کاملMuscle Oxygen content at exercise in patients with claudication.
TO THE EDITOR: We read with great interest the study by Dr. Luck et al. (4) in which the authors show that, when fatigued, patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) experience a greater reduction in muscle saturation (SmO2) than subjects matched for age, sex, and body mass index. The conclusion drawn from these observations (that PAD patients have altered oxygen uptake and/or utilization du...
متن کاملExercise and Intermittent Claudication
Four men with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) were exercised on a treadmill on 4 different days to determine their maximal walking time (MWT) and the point at which their claudication pain (CPT) began. Each subject was exercised at 60%, 75%, and 90% of his MWT to determine the effect of work intensity on the systolic blood pressure at the ankle (AP). To measure the effect of exercise repeated...
متن کاملExercise and Intermittent Claudication
Nineteen patients with obliterative arteriosclerotic disease of the legs and suffering from intermittent claudication were studied before and during a 6 months' training program. The maximal walking distance and the calf muscle blood flow during walking (xenon-133 clearance technique) was recorded at monthly intervals. A significant correlation was established between improvement in maximal wal...
متن کاملPost‐resistance exercise hypotension in patients with intermittent claudication
OBJECTIVE To verify the acute effects of resistance exercise on post-exercise blood pressure in patients with intermittent claudication. METHODS Eight patients randomly underwent two experimental sessions: a session of resistance exercise (R: 6 exercises, 3 sets of 12, 10 and 8 reps with a perceived exertion of 11 to 13 on the 15-grade Borg scale) and a control session (C: resting on exercise...
