LE TRAITEMENT DE LA CLAUDICATION INTERMITTENTE PAR REENTRAINEMENT PHYSIQUE DU PATIENT NON HOSPITALISE. EVALUATION DE SON EFFICACITE SUR UN GROUPE DE 40 MALADES

Abstract

The treatment of intermittent claudication by physical re-training of a patient with lower limb arteriopathy is not new (Alpert 1969, Cachovan 1976, Kindler 1965, Schoop 1964). It gives an effective improvement of walking distance and of physical performance capacity. Most programs used need the patient to be kept in a hospital and thus entail a significant social cost. We have set up a program for the retraining of patients that are not hospitalized and have checked the short and long term action achieved. The walking distance, the maximum performance in specific exercises, the walking exercises on a tread mill, are studied during the X 133clearance. The total leg blood flow before and after an arterial occlusive hyperhemic test is studied simultaneously.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
