Supervised exercise therapy versus non-supervised exercise therapy for intermittent claudication

Supervised walking therapy in patients with intermittent claudication

“…Results from our meta-analysis, based on RCTs comparing SWT with noninterventional observation, demonstrated that SWT is associated with significantly greater improvement in both MWD and PFWD. These results are consistent with two previous systematic reviews that demonstrated that supervised exercise therapy improves walking distance compared with unsupervised exercise therapy 9 or usual care. 10 We only included RCTs evaluating walking programs and excluded other modes of exercise therapies, such as strength training, cycling, pneumatic calf compression, and upper limb exercises, to make the exercise studies more comparable.…”

Economic analysis of a randomized trial of percutaneous angioplasty, supervised exercise or combined treatment for intermittent claudication due to femoropopliteal arterial disease

“…These findings are supported by evidence from other independent studies from Europe and the USA. SEP is known to be superior to non‐supervised exercise. Previously, there were only a few hospital‐based SEP programmes, limiting their routine application.…”

Supervised exercise therapy for intermittent claudication in a community-based setting is as effective as clinic-based

“…These results support the results of the Cochrane Review comparing SET with non-SET, showing clinical relevant differences in improvement of ACD after SET. 5 Although a comparison of our favorable results with historical studies should be regarded with caution because of the variability in the prescribed exercise regimens and treadmill walking tests used, SET in a community-based setting seems to be at least as efficacious as the programs provided in a clinical setting. 4,[6][7][8][14][15][16][17] A difference between the clinic-based SET studies and our cohort may be because our patients received SET during the entire 6 months, whereas the exercise period in three of seven of the earlier studies lasted only 3 months.…”
