Intermittent Pneumatic Compression with and without Exercise to Improve Functioning in Peripheral Artery Disease: The INTERCEDE TRIAL (INTERCEDE)
The purpose of this study is to establish whether the device, intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), both with and without walking exercise, can improve the ability to walk and prevent decline in the ability to walk for people with PAD. Intermittent pneumatic compression consists of blood pressure cuffs that are wrapped around the lower legs (below the knees) that inflate three times per minute. These cuffs may improve blood flow to the lower legs and feet.
