“…Contrary to expectations, no relationship was found between mobility and pain in the IVC-LSS group. IVC leads to deficiency in motor and sensory nerve functions [ 17 ] and impairment in concentric strength due to adaptations in muscle structure [ 41 ]. When these findings are taken into account, in this study, changes in muscle and nerve functions in individuals with IVC-LSS may have affected dynamic balance rather than pain.…”

Background The effect of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD), which occurs with similar degenerative conditions, when seen together, has not been studied. The aim of this study is to examine and compare the relationship between pain, balance, disability, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia in LSS patients with intermittent vascular claudication (IVC). Methods Seventy-two patients diagnosed with LSS using magnetic resonance imaging participated in this study. Thirty-five patients with IVC symptoms and showing vascular lesions by lower extremity venous and arterial Doppler ultrasonography imaging were included in the IVC-LSS group. The pain, static balance, dynamic balance, disability, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia were evaluated using the numeric rating scale, single leg stance test, Time Up and Go (TUG), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Fall Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), respectively. Results Age and female sex were found to be higher in the IVC-LSS group ( P = 0.024; P = 0.012). The IVC-LSS group had a shorter single leg stance time and TUG test duration, pain intensity, ODI, FES-I, and TSK scores were higher than patients with LSS ( P = 0.001). Pain, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia were moderately correlated with disability in the IVC-LSS group. No relationship was found between pain and dynamic balance. Also, the pain was not related to kinesiophobia. Conclusions The findings indicated that IVC causes loss of balance and an increase in pain, disability, fear of falling, and kinesophobia in patients with LSS.

“…Several recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses impressively demonstrated that muscle imaging by quantitative CT plays an important role in a large variety of diseases affecting organs such as the lung [71] , liver [72] , [73] , or abdomen [74] , [75] . Further systematic reviews were dedicated to muscle characteristics in cerebral palsy [76] , vascular claudication [77] , low back pain [78] , and muscle fatigue in old age [79] . CT imaging is used to assess muscle diseases, age-related muscle deterioration (sarcopenia) and muscle wasting (cachexia), other chronic diseases associated with or causing muscle weakness, after organ transplantation specifically and surgery in general; in body composition studies to assess efficacy of exercise or nutritional intervention; and to predict the risk of osteoporotic fracture or the impact of fracture on muscle.…”

The radiological assessment of muscle properties—size, mass, density (also termed radiodensity), composition, and adipose tissue infiltration—is fundamental in muscle diseases. More recently, it also became obvious that muscle atrophy, also termed muscle wasting, is caused by or associated with many other diseases or conditions, such as inactivity, malnutrition, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, cancer-associated cachexia, diabetes, renal and cardiac failure, and sarcopenia and even potentially with osteoporotic hip fracture. Several techniques have been developed to quantify muscle morphology and function. This review is dedicated to quantitative computed tomography (CT) of skeletal muscle and only includes a brief comparison with magnetic resonance imaging. Strengths and limitations of CT techniques are discussed in detail, including CT scanner calibration, acquisition and reconstruction protocols, and the various quantitative parameters that can be measured with CT, starting from simple volume measures to advanced parameters describing the adipose tissue distribution within muscle. Finally, the use of CT in sarcopenia and cachexia and the relevance of muscle parameters for the assessment of osteoporotic fracture illustrate the application of CT in two emerging areas of medical interest.

“…Patients with IC can have less muscle mass and lower strength (McDermott et al 2004;Harwood et al 2017). Resistance training (RT) can improve walking capacity and endurance (McGuigan et al 2001;Ritti-Dias et al 2010).…”

Intermittent claudication (IC) is the most common symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). IC affects the quality of life and results in marked exercise intolerance and limitation to daily activities with increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Exercise training is the first line of conservative management in PAD. However, patients with IC Patient cannot tolerate exercise because of leg discomfort induced by physical effort. This review will address alternative rehabilitation strategies to reduce exercise limitations and improve exercise tolerance in patients with IC.
