Cost-effectiveness of supervised exercise therapy compared with endovascular revascularization for intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend supervised exercise therapy (SET) as the preferred initial treatment for patients with intermittent claudication. The availability of SET programmes is, however, limited and such programmes are often not reimbursed. Evidence for the long-term cost-effectiveness of SET compared with endovascular revascularization (ER) as primary treatment for intermittent ...
متن کاملSupervised and home-based exercise training for patients with intermittent claudication.
Home-based exercise training, applied as the primary treatment in patients with intermittent claudication, has produced inconsistent effects on walking capacity in previous published studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether a home-based exercise training program could maintain improved walking capacity and other functional variables achieved through a supervised exercise tr...
متن کاملThe ClaudicationNet concept: design of a national integrated care network of supervised exercise therapy for patients with intermittent claudication
Context: Intermittent claudication is a manifestation of peripheral arterial disease. The primary and most effective intervention is exercise therapy. When exercise therapy is supervised by a physical therapist, superior results on walking distance and quality of life have been found (Level I). Caregivers like physical therapists, vascular surgeons and general practitioners should collaborate i...
متن کاملIntermittent claudication: is a supervised exercise class worth while?
Twenty-one patients (19 men and two women) with disabling exercise-related leg pain attended a physiotherapy department on one afternoon each week for an exercise training programme lasting one month. The clinical diagnosis of intermittent claudication and localisation of the atherosclerotic occlusions were confirmed in all but one case by pulse volume recordings and segmental Doppler systolic ...
متن کاملExercise and Intermittent Claudication
Four men with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) were exercised on a treadmill on 4 different days to determine their maximal walking time (MWT) and the point at which their claudication pain (CPT) began. Each subject was exercised at 60%, 75%, and 90% of his MWT to determine the effect of work intensity on the systolic blood pressure at the ankle (AP). To measure the effect of exercise repeated...
