Abstract EN
This randomized trial proposed to determine if there were differences in calf muscle StO2 parameters in patients before and after 12 weeks of a traditional walking or walking-with-poles exercise program.
Data were collected on 85 patients who were randomized to a traditional walking program (n=40) or walking-with-poles program (n=45) of exercise training.
Patients walked for 3 times weekly for 12 weeks.
Seventy-one patients completed both the baseline and the 12-week follow-up progressive treadmill tests (n=36 traditional walking and n=35 walking-with-poles).
Using the near-infrared spectroscopy measures, StO2 was measured prior to, during, and after exercise.
At baseline, calf muscle oxygenation decreased from 56±17% prior to the treadmill test to 16±18% at peak exercise.
The time elapsed prior to reaching nadir StO2 values increased more in the traditional walking group when compared to the walking-with-poles group.
Likewise, absolute walking time increased more in the traditional walking group than in the walking-with-poles group.
Tissue oxygenation decline during treadmill testing was less for patients assigned to a 12-week traditional walking program when compared to those assigned to a 12-week walking-with-poles program.
In conclusion, the 12-week traditional walking program was superior to walking-with-poles in improving tissue deoxygenation in patients with PAD.
