Physiological and perceptual responses to upper- and lower-limb aerobic exercise in patients with peripheral arterial disease

In many patients with peripheral arterial disease, exercise tolerance is severely limited by ischemic pain, when there is an inability of the lower-limb arterial supply to meet an increased metabolic demand of active skeletal muscles. This ischemic pain, commonly encountered during walking (intermit...

Summary:In many patients with peripheral arterial disease, exercise tolerance is severely limited by ischemic pain, when there is an inability of the lower-limb arterial supply to meet an increased metabolic demand of active skeletal muscles. This ischemic pain, commonly encountered during walking (intermittent claudication), can have a significant impact on functional independence.
