Daily Stretching to Improve Walking and Calf Muscle Function in Older Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease: The STRETCH PAD Study
The goal of this multi-center clinical trial is to assess the effects of passive calf muscle stretching in older adults diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. To determine how calf muscle stretching at home affects treadmill walk performance and daily physical activity level after 4 weeks and 6 months in these patients. 2. To determine how calf muscle stretching at home affects calf muscle vascular function and walking gait.
Participants will use inflatable ankle stretch boots for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 4-weeks
