  • Title: [Ambulatory physical therapy rehabilitation with interval walking-gymnastics therapy in patients with chronic peripheral arterial occlusive disease].
    Author: Mederacke W, Winterfeld HJ, Schmidt HH.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1988 May 15; 43(10):265-8. PubMed ID: 3046157.
    Abstract:
    A ambulatory physical therapeutic rehabilitation by means of interval-run-gymnastic-therapy was examined by a prospective study of 43 patients with peripheral arterial disease of the legs and was estimated as practicable. Improvements of walk distance, lengthenings of the pain times in the standardized move up and down-test, decreases of the blood-pressure gradients by ultrasonic Doppler measurements, shortenings of the half-life periods of xenon-clearance, improvements of the metabolism of lactate, improvements of the parameter of metabolism of lipids and uric acid were proved. Successes of therapy were not proved by oscillography and venous occlusion plethysmography. The expense was registered by the loss of working time and discussed.
