Activity To Improve Outcomes in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

In brief

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) results in blockages of arteries (blood vessels) in the legs and decreased blood flow to the legs. This may cause difficulty or pain with walking or other activities that use leg muscles. Exercise may help improve blood flow in the legs and improve the ability to walk. This research project is being implemented in adults with PAD to examine the effects of exercise or weight loss programs on lower extremity blood flow, health, and physical function.
