| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to explore the effects during 12 months follow-up of
12 weeks of supervised exercise therapy (SET) after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
(PTA) compared to PTA alone on physical function, limb hemodynamics and health-related
quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with intermittent claudication. Fifty patients were
randomised to an intervention or a control group. Both groups received usual post-operative
care and follow-up measurements at three, six and 12 months after PTA. The intervention
group performed 12 weeks of SET after PTA. The control group did not receive any
additional follow-up regarding exercise. During the 12 months’ follow-up, the members of
the intervention group had significantly better walking distance than the control group.
The intervention group had a significantly higher HRQoL score in the physical component | en_US |
