Summary

Leg ulcers are often chronic or recurring complications of peripheral circulation disorders. Patients' lifestyles are known to influence leg ulcer occurrence and circulation disorders in general. Especially exercise and compliance with compression therapy are key elements in the course of leg ulcer healing and recurrence. Yet many patients demonstrate sedentary lifestyles and non-compliance and current practice offers no systematic approach in the promotion of compliance and physical activity in these patients.

The purpose of the study is testing 'Lively Legs' a compliance promotion program for patients with leg ulcers. The study tests the program on effects regarding:

* compliance with compression therapy and exercise levels
* time to leg ulcer recurrence
* cost effectiveness from a social perspective.
