[The evaluation of rehabilitative therapy in peripheral arteriopathy. Our experience].
Motor rehabilitation alone is considered and effective treatment for patients affected by claudicatio intermittens although underlying diseases may often influence but not exclude its efficacy. According to the literature no agreement exists about rehabilitative methods. The authors, in order to contribute to a standardization of rehabilitative methods, report their experience characterized by good results. Moreover, the authors stress the importance of the treatment in desisting from habits like cigarette smoking.
