Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria for this study encompass patients with a diagnosis of critical limb ischemia or foot ulcers , regardless of the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), including those with ABI greater than 0.95. Eligible participants may also have a history of uncontrolled diabetes and/or uncontrolled hypertension. Patients who are unable to walk due to ligament or knee injury or recent knee surgery are included, as well as those with a history of vascular surgeries involving the lower limbs. Individuals who have undergone major surgery or experienced a myocardial infarction within the past three months are also eligible. Additionally, patients with unstable angina are included. The study will also consider participants whose walking ability is limited by conditions unrelated to leg ischemia, such as musculoskeletal or neurological disorders.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The exclusion criteria for this study include patients with a diagnosis of critical limb ischemia or foot ulcers , as well as those with an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) greater than 0.95, which may indicate the absence of significant peripheral arterial disease. Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes or uncontrolled hypertension are excluded due to the potential confounding effects of these conditions. Patients who are unable to walk due to ligament or knee injury or have undergone recent knee surgery are not eligible for participation. Those with a history of vascular surgeries of the lower limbs are also excluded, as well as patients who have undergone major surgery or experienced a myocardial infarction within the past three months . Additionally, individuals diagnosed with unstable angina are excluded. Finally, patients whose walking is limited by conditions unrelated to leg ischemia, such as musculoskeletal or neurological disorders, will not be considered for inclusion in the study.
