Peripheral Arterial Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
patients with peripheral arterial disease are recommended to perform all exercise forms including elliptical type. electromagnetic treatment addition to exercise may increase benefits of this exercise
Detailed description
patients (40 elderly) with peripheral arterial disease who take their medications will be divided to older patients group that receive one hour elliptical exercise (n=20 patients, exercise will be applied 3 times per the week for eight week) and a group (n=20) that receive 3 sessions per weeks of 8-week electromagnetic one-hour therapy and one hour elliptical exercise (exercise will be applied 3 times per the week for eight week)
Interventions
OTHERelectromagnetic pulsed therapy
patients (20 elderly) with peripheral arterial disease who take their medications will receive one hour elliptical exercise ( exercise will be applied 3 times per the week for eight week) and 3 sessions per weeks of 8-week electromagnetic one-hour pulsed therapy
OTHERelliptical exercise

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ankle brachial index | It will be measured after 8 weeks | it is an vascular index used in assessment of peripheral arterial disease progression |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| claudication pain time | It will be measured after 8 weeks | the starting onset time of pain appearance during treadmill test |
| claudication pain distance | It will be measured after 8 weeks | the distance at which onset of pain appeared during treadmill test |
| Modified walking impairment questionnaire | It will be measured after 8 weeks | it assess degree of walking impairment in vascular disease patients |
| six minute walking test (pain free distance) | It will be measured after 8 weeks | pain free distance walked during six minute walking test will be calculated |
| posterior tibial artery diameter | It will be measured after 8 weeks | increase in vascular diameter of vessel denotes improved arterial disease |
| intermittent claudication questionnaire | it will be measured after 8 weeks | it will assess health-related quality of life concerning the issue of intermittent claudication |
| short form 36 health questionnaire | it will be measured after 8 weeks | it will assess general quality of life in the patients |
| Short physical performance battery | it will be measured after 8 weeks | total score or points will be assessed from this physical performance test |
| six minute walking test (total walked distance) | it will be measured after 8 weeks | total distance walked during six minute walking test will be calculated |
