• Research summary

  We are going to investigate the efficacy of an electrical device which evokes lower leg muscle contractions and movement via foot stimulation, to enhance blood circulation in patients with claudication. We will record improvements in the claudication distance (distance a patient with claudication can walk before experiencing leg pain). We will also record any change in patients quality of life.
