    Journal: Z Gerontol; 1985; 18(1):17-21. PubMed ID: 4002814.
    Abstract:
    Today the mean part of conservative treatment is the physical exercise therapy. This physical-therapy should be carried out through exercise in intervals. This training is programmed according to localisation and compensation of the occlusion and the age of the patients. The aims of the exercise-therapy are the adaptation of the motoric stressform coordination and improvement of local aerobic endurance. According to the location of the occlusion the muscles are trained: arm/exercise with dumb-bell; pelvis and thigh/exercise with knee-bendings; foot and calf/exercise with toestandings. This exercise therapy can also be successfully carried out by older patients suffering from vascular disorders.
