Summary

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a disorder that affects more than 8 million people in the United States. As a result of decreased blood flow to the legs, people with PAD may experience leg pain and difficulty with walking. This study will examine the effectiveness of two exercise programs-a treadmill walking program and an aerobic arm exercise program-at increasing walking distance and decreasing leg pain in people with PAD.
