Aerobic exercise training for patients suffering from intermittent claudication
Nine patients with intermittent claudication diagnosed at least 6 months before this investigation were evaluated to determine the effects of walking exercise on serum lactate accumulation (HLa, mmol⁻¹), ankle pressure index (API), total treadmill time (sec), and onset of leg pain (sec) in the most …

A novel footwear intervention to assist in the gait of patients with intermittent claudication
… of the peripheral arteries. A common symptom is intermittent claudication, a cramping pain felt intermittently during activity such as walking. This is due to muscle oxygen demand surpassing the available supply and can significantly reduce mobility and quality of life. One noninvasive treatment …

Integrating patients with intermittent claudication into an established cardiac rehabilitation programme: a feasibility study with embedded pilot
… UK, it is recommended that people diagnosed with intermittent claudication (IC) receive exercise therapy as first-line treatment of their condition. The optimal delivery of this treatment is a hospital-based, supervised exercise programme (SEP). Despite this recommendation, there is a national …

Exercise training in patients with peripheral vascular disease
… disease (PVD) suffer from the symptom of intermittent claudication and are walking intolerant. However, it is not clear what contributes to walking intolerance in patients with PVD.

INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION OF THE CAUDA EQUINA IS CAUSED BY COMPRESSION OF THE CAUDA EQUINA OR ITS ROOTS WITHIN A NARROWED LUMBAR SPINAL CANAL. IT IS CHARACTERIZED MAINLY BY SENSORY SYMPTOMS RELATED TO EXERCISE OR TO CERTAIN BODY POSITIONS. PAIN IS USUALLY PRESENT IN CASES DUE TO LATERAL LUMBAR DISC …

Prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy in peripheral arterial disease and its relation to blood pressure
… time for assessment of PAD with a history of intermittent claudication and ankle brachial pressure of index of ≤0.9 were recruited. All subjects underwent a full echocardiogram, office blood pressure and 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.<br/><br/>Results: Out of 350 subjects …

A comparative study of home based exercise on symptomatic peripheral arterial disease
… a 5-year probability of survival of only 44%. Intermittent claudication, the exercise-induced ischaemic pain in the lower extremities, has been reported in 20% to 40% of patients with PAD. People with PAD have significant disability that also affects psychosocial and emotional aspects of their …

The Impact of Outward Remodeling on Vasodilation in Skeletal Muscle Resistance Arteries
… which in turn may cause or contribute to intermittent claudication- transient pain brought on by locomotion. To stimulate the growth of collateral arteries, the femoral arteries of young, otherwise healthy mice were ligated distally to the profunda femoris, the stem to the gracilis …

Effect of low intensity exercise training on circulatory and autonomic measures in patients with peripheral artery disease.
… ± 8.13 years, mean ± standard deviation) with intermittent claudication (ankle-brachial index 0.54 ± 0.18) were randomly assigned to either a walking group (n = 27) who performed a structured walking program, 5 days per week for 12 weeks, or a comparison group (n = 21) who performed usual …

Are clinical characteristics predictive of non-traumatic lower extremity amputation in a diabetic population?
… monofilament, biothesiometry results, rest pain, intermittent claudication, ankle brachial index, glycaemic control, hypertension, evidence of pressure load on foot, and wound aetiology. The data were analysed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model in addition to collation of data from …

Physiological effects of exercise in patients with peripheral vascular disease
… improved walking performance in patients with intermittent claudication. In Study 1, multiple regression analysis was used to identify key physiological predictors of walking performance in this patient group. The three variables included in the final regression model were peak oxygen uptake, …

Allopurinol as a possible oxygen sparing agent during exercise in peripheral arterial disease
… can only walk so far before they get leg pain (intermittent claudication) and have to stop. They are also at risk in the future of needing amputation of one of their limbs. Allopurinol is a new possible treatment for this condition as it has been shown in coronary arterial disease to prolong …

The Impacts of Arterial Occlusion, Sex, and Exercise on Arteriogenesis and Functional Vasodilation
… peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is intermittent claudication, which may be caused by impaired vasodilation. Patients demonstrate both local and systemic impairments in vasodilation, but as the collateral circulation is the primary site of resistance to the ischemic zone, impaired …

Plasma tissue factor, tissue factor pathway inhibitor and restenosis following femoropopliteal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in claudicants
… The primary goal in the management of intermittent claudication is to decrease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by disease modifying therapy. However percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is often performed to improve limb related symptoms. Claudicants may have variation in …

Metabolic profile and post-operative outcomes in contemporary patients with peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischaemia
… Most symptomatic individuals present with intermittent claudication (IC). Only a small proportion (1%) of affected individuals present with critical limb ischaemia (CLI). Revascularization aimed at limb salvage, and recovery of ambulation and independent living is the ultimate therapeutic …

The vascular variability of the iliac system and clinical diagnosis in radiology and neurology
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body giving both<br/>motor and sensory innervations to the lower limb. It can be affected in chronic<br/>diseases, such as diabetes, or compressed anatomically by structures such as<br/>piriformis and aneurysms leading to sciatica or paralysis of …
