Description

Introduction Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterised by the presence of atherosclerotic plaque in the peripheral arteries causing reduced blood flow to the peripheral limbs. Reduced blood flow results in ischaemia. The pain of intermittent claudication is felt, particularly during exercise. (1) The word 'claudicare' means to limp. Typically the patient with PAD will experience pain (either in the buttock, thigh or calf muscle) distal to the atherosclerotic obstruction. Studies have shown that exercise training is an important and effective therapy for patients with PAD. The effects of exercise training on PAD and intermittent claudication have been reviewed. (2)
