Polestriding Versus Walking for PAD Rehabilitation
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Walking with poles and Walking exercise for Peripheral Arterial Disease. Completed, enrolled 146 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of polestriding (walking with poles) and traditional walking on physical endurance in subjects with poor circulation in their legs. Another goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a walking program in increasing the amount of oxygen in the calf muscles and therefore improving overall physical activity and quality of life.
