[Results of physical therapy of peripheral arterial circulatory disorders (VI). Present position of the results in the Steglitz Hospital, Berlin].
103 patients with peripheral arterial circulatory disorders of Fontaine's type II were divided into 3 comparable groups and subjected to physiotherapeutic interval training three times a week for 7-8 weeks and 10-12 weeks respectively (Groups I and II) and Group III to similar intensive therapy five times a week for 6-7 weeks. In this way, the therapeutic success could be compared in 2 groups for the same length of time (Groups I and III) and with regard to the number of treatments (Groups II and III). The intensive therapy Group III, with a mean increase in walking distance of 79.2% and a success rate of 77.1% showed the best therapeutic efficiency compared with Group II (64.0% and 81.0%), which had to be treated for a considerably long time.
