Based on a low quality of evidence , home-based supervised exercise may lead to less improvement in maximum and pain-free walking distance , and in more improvement in daily life walking capacity , compared with hospital-based supervised exercise .
Home-based supervised exercise may improve maximum and pain-free walking distance compared with " go home and walk advice " and result in little or no difference in health-related quality of life and functional walking capacity compared with hospital-based supervised exercise or " go home and walk advice " .
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of home-based supervised exercise vs hospital-based supervised exercise , and the effects of home-based supervised exercise vs unsupervised " go home and walk advice " on daily life and corridor-walking capacity , health-related quality of life and patient-reported functional walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication .
Treatment efficacy of intermittent claudication by surgical intervention, supervised physical exercise training compared to no treatment in unselected randomised patients I: one year results of functional and physiological improvements.
OBJECTIVES to compare the effect of surgery , exercise and simple observation on maximum exercise power in claudicants . DESIGN prospect i ve , r and omised study . METHODS a total of 264 unselected claudicants were r and omised to supervised exercise training , invasive treatment ( open surgical or endovascular procedures ) or observation . One year treatment outcomes were analysed on an intention to-treat basis . RESULTS invasively treated patients showed a significant improvement in maximum walking power , stopping distance , post-ischaemic blood flow and big toe pressure at one year . Patients r and omised to physical exercise training or to the control group did not improve in any outcome measure . CONCLUSION invasive treatment increased walking capacity , leg blood pressure and flow . Supervised physical exercise training offered no therapeutic advantage compared to untreated controls
