Overview
Brief Summary
patients with peripheral arterial disease are recommended to perform all exercise forms including elliptical type. electromagnetic treatment addition to exercise may increase benefits of this exercise
Detailed Description
patients (40 elderly) with peripheral arterial disease who take their medications will be divided to older patients group that receive one hour elliptical exercise (n=20 patients, exercise will be applied 3 times per the week for eight week) and a group (n=20) that receive 3 sessions per weeks of 8-week electromagnetic one-hour therapy and one hour elliptical exercise (exercise will be applied 3 times per the week for eight week)
