Poster 196: Calf Exercise Training in a Patient with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Intermittent Claudication: A Case Report

Effects of Exercise Training on Calf Tissue Oxygenation in Men With Intermittent Claudication

“…A calf ergometer was developed at the VA West Los Angeles Healthcare Center and used for clinical calf exercise training in this project [32,33]. The isotonic resistive exercise system provides accurate and reproducible ankle plantar flexion exercise at combinations of cadence and resistance that produce power outputs varying from 2.7 to 45.2 W, with cadences of 60–100 beats/min.…”
