They should walk until near maximal pain then stop to rest until pain subsides. Goal is 30 minutes walking most days of the week. This stimulates collateral circulation Summary : Summary Patients experiencing stable claudication often improve with good medical management Signs of critical limb ischemia should be referred for urgent evaluation Walking program can be as effective as angioplasty in improving maximal walking distance Resources : Resources Vascular Web http://www.vascularweb.org/patients/NorthPoint/Leg_Artery_Disease.html Hankey, G.J., Norman, P.E., & Eikelboom, J.W.
