Intermittent claudication: is a supervised exercise class worth while?
Twenty-one patients (19 men and two women) with disabling exercise-related leg pain attended a physiotherapy department on one afternoon each week for an exercise training programme lasting one month. The clinical diagnosis of intermittent claudication and localisation of the atherosclerotic occlusions were confirmed in all but one case by pulse volume recordings and segmental Doppler systolic ...
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 کاملAn exercise test in intermittent claudication.
In most cases of intermittent claudication the diagnosis is apparent after the history and clinical examination have been completed. Although the history itself may be misleading, clinical examination is usually fruitful; the signs of obliterative arterial disease are present in most, and cases of anrmia and coarctation of the aorta that present with intermittent claudication should be easily d...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of supervised exercise therapy compared with endovascular revascularization for intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend supervised exercise therapy (SET) as the preferred initial treatment for patients with intermittent claudication. The availability of SET programmes is, however, limited and such programmes are often not reimbursed. Evidence for the long-term cost-effectiveness of SET compared with endovascular revascularization (ER) as primary treatment for intermittent ...
