====Supervised exercise program==== | |||
* Program takes place in a hospital or outpatient facility. | |||
* | * Program uses intermittent walking exercise as the treatment modality. | ||
* | * Program can be standalone or within a cardiac rehabilitation program. | ||
** | * Program is directly supervised by qualified healthcare provider(s). | ||
* | * Training is performed for a minimum of 30–45 min/session; sessions are performed at least 3 times/wk for a minimum of 12 wk (36-46). | ||
* | * Training involves intermittent bouts of walking to moderate-to-maximum claudication, alternating with periods of rest. | ||
* Warm-up and cool-down periods precede and follow each session of walking. | |||
* | ====Structured community- or home-based exercise program==== | ||
* | * Program takes place in the personal setting of the patient rather than in a clinical setting. | ||
* | * Program is self-directed with guidance of healthcare providers. | ||
* | *Healthcare providers prescribe an exercise regimen similar to that of a supervised program. | ||
* Patient counseling ensures understanding of how to begin and maintain the program and how to progress the difficulty of the walking (by increasing distance or speed). | |||
* | *Program may incorporate behavioral change techniques, such as health coaching or use of activity monitors. | ||

2016 AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Patients With Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease[1]
Recommendations for Structured Exercise Therapy in Patients with PAD
Class I |
"1. In patients with claudication, a supervised exercise program is recommended to improve functional status and QoL and to reduce leg symptoms(Level of Evidence: A)" |
"2. A supervised exercise program should be discussed as a treatment option for claudication before possible revascularization(Level of Evidence: B-R)" |
Class IIa |
"1.In patients with PAD, a structured community- or home-based exercise program with behavioral change techniques can be beneficial to improve walking ability
and functional status.(Level of Evidence: A)" |
"2.In patients with claudication, alternative strategies of exercise therapy, including upper-body ergometry, cycling, and pain-free or low-intensity walking that avoids moderate-to-maximum claudication while walking, can be beneficial to improve walking ability and functional status(Level of Evidence: C-EO)" |
