Research summary
Supervised exercise for intermittent claudication is a first line therapy for stable peripheral arterial disease, as recommended by NICE and the European Society for Vascular Surgery. However 2/3 of UK trusts cannot implement this due to cost, equipment and logistical reasons.
During the COVID-19 lockdown we successfully performed a feasibility study of remotely supervised exercise using an electronic walking log and fortnightly video calls with a physiotherapist.
RESET aims to compare the benefit of remotely supervised exercise with self-directed exercise using an electronic walking log to measure distance and adherence.REC name
