title: [The influence of laser radiation on blood flow in patients with ischemia of the lower limbs (based on the analysis of the hyperemia reactive test)].
abstract: The aim of this paper was to assess the influence of low power infra red laser radiation on blood flow in patients with atherosclerotic disease of the lower limbs. The investigations were based on the hyperemic reactive test and the ankle/brachial pressure index. Analysis of the hyperemic reactive test allows to evaluate microcirculation mechanisms. The results obtained indicate that treatment of low power laser radiation allows to improve microcirculation mechanisms and blood flow in the lower limbs.
