ROMEPAD: Remote Monitoring of Home Exercise in Peripheral Arterial Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Many patients with blockages in the arteries in their legs (peripheral arterial disease, "PAD") suffer from pain in their legs when walking. Exercise therapy is known to decrease pain levels as well as increase the distance that patients with PAD can walk. The purpose of this study is to understand whether home exercise using a digital exercise monitoring system (LIVMOR) with provider supervision/ feedback will improve walking distance compared to those undergoing home exercise using the same monitoring system but without provider supervision/ feedback.
