“…Average scores obtained on the WIQ subscales in patients with OA are slightly higher than those reported by patients with PAD and lower than those without PAD [13][14]21,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. In patients with PAD, scores on the walking distance subscale ranged from 25 to 56 [13][14][32][33][34][35]37,39], with most scores clustering at 40 or lower. In patients whose lifestyle was limited by decreased circulation to their legs or who were awaiting surgery, scores were lower, ranging from 3.1 to 12.6 [36,38].…”

“…The scores are in the upper range of PAD patients and well below those reported by patients without disease. Likewise, patients with decreased circulation to the legs scored between 30 and 39 [13][14][32][33][34][35]37,39] on the walking speed subscale, with severely limited PAD patients scoring between 4.6 and 22.0 [36,38]. Subjects without disease reported scores ranging from 60 to 64 [32,35].…”

Abstract-This study tested the psychometric properties of the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) in overweight patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity of the WIQ were measured. Used in a randomized clinical trial, the WIQ was one of the instruments completed by overweight adults with OA of the knee. A total of 105 patients completed the WIQ. Internal consistency of the WIQ was supported in this population with a Cronbach alpha total score of 0.97. Testretest reliability scores were not different when subjects completed the WIQ 14 days apart (p > 0.05). The relationships were moderate between the WIQ subscales and other established measures, such as the 6-minute walk distance, stair climb and descend, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (OA Index) questionnaire. After evaluating the psychometric properties of the WIQ, we found that it is a valid and reliable instrument to use in overweight patients with symptomatic OA of the knee.

“…Polestriding, a stationary form of exercise similar to skiing has proved to be beneficial to patients with intermittent claudication, as has upper-limb cycle ergometry. 7,41,44 The effect of upperlimb and lower-limb cycle ergometry on walking tolerance in patients with intermittent claudication was assessed in the United Kingdom. 41,44 Patients were randomised to an upperlimb cycle ergometry group or a lower-limb cycle ergometry group and trained twice a week for 6 weeks.…”

Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) suffer from the symptom of intermittent claudication and are therefore intolerant to walking. Exercise training has been shown to be a beneficial treatment for patients with PVD. Therefore studies have aimed to assess the efficacy of exercise training programmes. This review summarises the data on the efficacy of exercise training programmes in patients with PVD. Recommendations are made for the mode, duration, frequency and intensity of exercise training programmes. A systematic review of Medline, Pubmed and Science Direct was done of studies on exercise training and patients with PVD, particularly those using randomised controlled trials. Exercise training improves walking tolerance in patients with PVD. The common mode of training in patients with PVD in the past decade has been walking on a treadmill; however recently an upper-limb cycle ergometry programme proved to be as effective as lower-limb cycle ergometry in improving walking tolerance in patients with PVD. As weight-bearing walking programmes are uncomfortable for patients with PVD, this is an important development in exercise prescription for these patients. Most successful exercise programmes have been 3-6 months in duration for a period of 30 minutes to 1 hour, 2-3 times per week. However, 1 study showed that a shorter period (6 weeks) was of sufficient duration to improve functional capacity in patients with PVD. This is helpful for practitioners as exercise programmes of 3 or 6 months can be daunting for a patient to embark on. Finally, patients should exercise to maximal claudication pain in order to elicit the best training response. South African Journal of Sports Medicine Vol. 18 (4) 2006: pp. 116-121

XIDATIVE STRESS IS IMPLIcated in most human diseases. 1,2 Antioxidants may decrease the oxidative damage and its alleged harmful effects. [3][4][5][6] Many people are taking antioxidant supplements, believing to improve their health and prevent diseases. [7][8][9][10] Whether antioxidant supplements are beneficial or harmful is uncertain. [11][12][13][14][15] Many primary or secondary prevention trials of antioxidant supplements have been conducted to prevent several diseases.We found that antioxidant supplements, with the potential exception of selenium, were without significant effects on gastrointestinal cancers and increased all-cause mortality. 14,15 We did not examine the effect of antioxidant supplements on all-cause mortality in all randomized prevention trials. 16 Our aim with the present systematic review was to analyze the effects of antioxidant supplements (beta carotene, vitamins A and E, vitamin C [ascorbic acid], and selenium) on all-cause mortality of adults included in primary and secondary prevention trials. METHODSThe present review follows the Cochrane Collaboration method 17 and is based on the principles of our peer-reviewed protocol and review on antioxidant supplements for gastrointestinal cancer prevention. 14,15,18,19 We included all primary and secondary prevention trials in adults randomized to receive beta caro-
