“…All 6 RCTs reported significant improvements in MWD in both exercising groups compared to baseline and to the control group. There was a tendency for a greater improvement in the LE training group ranging from 31% to 69%, 25,27 compared to the UE group where the improvement ranged from 29% to 53%. 27,28 However, the difference in magnitude of improvement between the exercising groups did not reach statistical significance (Table 35).…”

Upper versus lower limb exercise training in patients with intermittent claudication: A systematic review

Lower extremity (LE) exercise training has been shown to contribute to improvements in Maximum Walking Distance (MWD), Claudication Distance (CD), peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) and Quality of Life (QoL) in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). However, little is known regarding the efficacy of upper extremity (UE) exercise training in comparison to the widely used LE training. The objective of this systematic literature review is to identify and synthesize the available literature on the effects of UE versus LE exercises using the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) conceptual framework. A total of 6 randomized controlled trials comparing UE to LE exercises were included in this study. Two of the articles were considered to be of high quality using the PEDro grading list. Both UE and LE training groups demonstrated significant improvements in MWD, CD, VO 2peak and QoL in comparison to the control group but LE was not better than UE training. This supports the use of UE training as an alternative to LE, which could provide symptomatic relief to patients with IC without the discomfort caused during the LE training.

BackgroundExercise programmes are a relatively inexpensive, low-risk option compared with other, more invasive therapies for treatment of leg pain on walking (intermittent claudication (IC)). This is the fourth update of a review first published in 1998. ObjectivesOur goal was to determine whether an exercise programme was effective in alleviating symptoms and increasing walking treadmill distances and walking times in people with intermittent claudication. Secondary objectives were to determine whether exercise was effective in preventing deterioration of underlying disease, reducing cardiovascular events, and improving quality of life. Search methodsFor this update, the Cochrane Vascular Information Specialist searched the Specialised Register (last searched 15 November 2016) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2016, Issue 10) via the Cochrane Register of Studies Online, along with trials registries. Selection criteriaRandomised controlled trials of an exercise regimen versus control or versus medical therapy for people with IC due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). We included any exercise programme or regimen used for treatment of IC, such as walking, skipping, and running. Inclusion of trials was not affected by duration, frequency, or intensity of the exercise programme. Outcome measures collected included treadmill walking distance (time to onset of pain or pain-free walking distance and maximum walking time or maximum walking distance), ankle brachial index (ABI), quality of life, morbidity, or amputation; if none of these was reported, we did not include the trial in this review. Data collection and analysisFor this update (2017), RAL and AH selected trials and extracted data independently. We assessed study quality by using the Cochrane 'Risk of bias' tool. We analysed continuous data by determining mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and dichotomous data by determining risk ratios (RRs) and 95% CIs. We pooled data using a fixed-effect model unless we identified significant heterogeneity, in which case we used a random-effects model. We used the GRADE approach to assess the overall quality of evidence supporting the outcomes assessed in this review.
