title: [Results of kinesis therapy in patients with diabetic macroangiopathy of the lower extremities].
abstract: In 30 patients with diabetes type II and macroangiopathy of lower extremities, physical training was applied. This treatment was carried on in our Clinic for average 4 weeks. The following methods were applied: individual exercises of legs once or twice daily for 30-minutes, training in brine swimming pool for 30 minutes every-day, treatment walks with proportioning effort. Value of physical effort was not more than 30-40% max. pulse rate. The examination was performed before and after the programme of treatment. The examination included the following parameters: subjective test on cycloergometer, examination of blood flow velocity by Doppler method and biochemical examination of glycaemia and lipidemia. We found improvement in intermittent claudication distance, significant subjective improvement in velocity of blood flow in lower extremities. In our opinion physical vascular training is a valuable method of mono-operative treatment of vascular disease of legs in diabetic patients.
