title: [The treatment of intermittent claudication by physical retraining of the non-hospitalised patient. Evaluation of effectiveness in a group of 40 patients (author's transl)].
abstract: The treatment of intermittent claudication by physical re-training of a patient with lower limb arteriopathy is not new (Alpert 1969, Cachovan 1976, Kindler 1965, Schoop 1964). It gives an effective improvement of walking distance and of physical performance capacity. Most programs used need the patient to be kept in an hospital and thus entail a significant social cost. We have set up a program for the retraining of patients that are not hospitalized and have checked the short and long term action achieved. The walking distance, the maximum performance in specifical exercises, the walking exercises on a tread mill, are studied during the clearance X133, the total leg blood flow before and after an arterial occlusive hyperhemic test is studied simultaneously.
