Official title
Improving Walking in Peripheral Artery Disease Using Specially Designed Assistive Shoes
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a cardiovascular disease manifesting from systemic atherosclerosis that blocks the leg arteries and results in insufficient blood flow to the lower extremities. Limb ischemia from PAD is the most common disorder treated within the vascular surgical service of the Omaha Veterans Affairs Medical Center. PAD also accounts for one-third of the operations performed in the VA Medical Centers nationwide. The risk of mortality of Veterans with PAD is substantial; nearly 30% of Veterans with PAD died within 3.8 years of diagnosis. This project aims to establish the feasibility and acceptability of specially designed assistive shoes in patients with PAD and to determine if there are any potential benefits of using these shoes over standard shoes. These assistive shoes may enable patients to carry out desired activities of daily living with less pain and more physical activity. Increasing physical activity will decrease morbidity and mortality. If proven beneficial, the findings will lead to a novel and conservative rehabilitation protocol that directly benefits Veterans nationwide.
