claudication

The development of 'claudication' or ischemia of a leg in an otherwise healthy young patient is a dramatic clinical event.

If conservative treatment through lifestyle modification isn't sufficient to ease 'claudication' or prevent the disease from progressing, you may have other treatment options.

Progressive symptoms, crippling 'claudication' and limb ischemia warrant more aggressive interventions.

Walking improves the symptoms of 'claudication' in several ways.

There is therefore overwhelming evidence that supervised exercise is of symptomatic benefit for 'intermittent claudication' and little evidence that exercise advice alone is an effective treatment.
