Micro-Lightguide Spectrophotometry (O2C) for Lower Limb Perfusion: Effects of Exercise Walking in Claudicants

摘要

Background Exercise walking has improved walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication without affecting the macrocirculation reflected in ankle pressures. We wanted to investigate microcirculation in the skin related to exercise walking by using Micro-Lightguide Spectrophotometry (O2C).
