Claudication
نویسنده
چکیده
may be no blood-flow through the calf muscle of a claudicant during certain forms of exercise, in particular when the patient rhythmically raises himself up and down on tiptoe of one leg. It may also be true of an athlete that there is no bloodflow through his calf muscles when performing short and rapid sprints like running 100 yards in 10 seconds. My interest in this subject started when I found that surgeons seemed unable to agree about the efficacy of lumbar sympathectomy as a treatment

Gait variability of patients with intermittent claudication is similar before and after the onset of claudication pain.
BACKGROUND Recent research demonstrated that intermittent claudication patients have increased gait variability prior to the onset of claudication. However, it is unknown if these patients experience additional gait adaptations after the onset of claudication. Thus, we sought to determine how gait variability is affected by claudication in an effort to contribute to improved clinical management...

متن کاملIschemic stroke in patients with intermittent claudication: a clinical study of 142 cases.
The clinical features, risk factors, neuroimaging findings, and outcome of acute ischemic stroke were assessed in patients with intermittent claudication.

متن کاملExercise prescription using the heart of claudication pain onset in patients with intermittent claudication
OBJECTIVE To assess the acute metabolic and cardiovascular responses to walking exercise at an intensity corresponding to the heart rate of claudication pain onset and to investigate the effects of a 12-week walking training program at this intensity on walking capacity. METHODS Twenty-nine patients with intermittent claudication were randomly allocated to the walking training (n=17) or contr...
متن کاملThe reliability of differentiating neurogenic claudication from vascular claudication based on symptomatic presentation.
BACKGROUND Intermittent claudication can be neurogenic or vascular. Physicians use a profile based on symptom attributes to differentiate the 2 types of claudication, and this guides their investigations for diagnosis of the underlying pathology. We evaluated the validity of these symptom attributes in differentiating neurogenic from vascular claudication. METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of...
متن کاملProspective study of diet, lifestyle, and intermittent claudication in male smokers.
The association between dietary and lifestyle factors and intermittent claudication was investigated in the Finnish Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study. The cohort comprised 26,872 male smokers aged 50-69 years who were free of claudication at study entry. At baseline (1985-1988), subjects completed a diet history questionnaire. During a median follow-up period of 4 years (e...
