Exercise for Elderly Peripheral Revascularized Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Peripheral Artery Disease, Intermittent Claudication

In brief

The purpose of this study is (1) to determine whether a 3-month exercise rehabilitation program will improve claudication distances, free-living daily physical activity, and health-related quality of life of older, revascularized patients with peripheral arterial disease, and (2) to determine whether the primary mechanisms by which exercise rehabilitation affects the above functional outcomes are through alterations in walking efficiency, peripheral circulation, and cardiopulmonary function.
