Summary

We are conducting a clinical research trial to determine the role of self-managed walking therapy to improve walking ability in patients with diabetes mellitus and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD, commonly referred to as poor circulation in the legs, is a very common disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. For patients with PAD, there is a significant risk for poor walking ability and limb loss. One major treatment for PAD is walking therapy but the traditional methods for the delivery of this treatment have required frequent visits to a university or hospital-based site. We will address the role of self-managed walking program, to be conducted at or near the home, to improve limb function.
