A primary care walking exercise program for patients with intermittent claudication.
PURPOSE In a pilot study, the hypothesis was tested that a home-based walking exercise program with structured coaching would improve walking performance and adherence in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). METHODS Thirty-one IC patients with a rest ankle-brachial pressure index < 0.90 started a 24-wk walking program in the home environment. They were coached according to the Health...
متن کاملPotential vascular mechanisms of ramipril induced increases in walking ability in patients with intermittent claudication.
RATIONALE We recently reported that ramipril more than doubled maximum walking times in patients with peripheral artery disease with intermittent claudication. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to conduct exploratory analyses of the effects of ramipril therapy on circulating biomarkers of angiogenesis/arteriogenesis, thrombosis, inflammation, and leukocyte adhesion in patients with intermittent claudicat...
متن کاملWalking exercise in patients with intermittent claudication. Experience in routine clinical practice.
BACKGROUND In patients with intermittent claudication, exercise in the form of walking is effective in reducing pain and maximising achievable walking distance. However, data are lacking on the implementation of walking exercise in these patients. AIMS To explore the current behaviour and views of patients with intermittent claudication towards taking walking exercise. DESIGN OF STUDY Posta...
متن کاملCalf 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 کاملBarriers and facilitators for walking in individuals with intermittent claudication.
This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators associated with walking for exercise among people who experience intermittent claudication. Fifteen individuals (7 men and 8 women) participated in 3 focus groups that were tape-recorded and content analyzed. A social-cognitive framework was used to categorize barriers and facilitators as those related to the person, to the activity, or to ...
