Article Abstract:

The walking ability of patients with peripheral arterial disease was studied. The study showed that walking ability after 6 minutes slowed down and lost cadence in their stride.

The ankle brachial index independently predicts walking velocity and walking endurance in peripheral arterial disease

Article Abstract:

The ankle brachial index and peripheral arterial disease are examined as independent predictors of walking endurance and walking velocity levels over short distances. Peripheral arterial disease may impair the function of lower extremities. However it has not been determine if a limiting ability to walk is due to lower extremity ischemia or muscle atrophy.
