Oxygen Saturation in the Leg Musculature Affected by Peripheral Arterial Disease During Exercise on an Arm Ergometer

NCT06491810 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 26

Last updated 2026-04-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Studies with arm ergometer (AE) training have shown benefits in the functional capacity of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) bypassing the main barrier to exercise in these patients, pain during walking exercise. The only study that proposed to investigate the mechanism involved in this adaptation observed that chronically training with EB promoted improvement in the oxygen saturation (StO₂) of the leg muscles during walking. However, how arm exercise could improve leg muscle StO₂ remains unknown.

The goal of this study is to analyze what happens during AE on the tissue oxygen saturation (StO₂) of the leg affected by PAD.
