简要总结
Fifty patients from both sexes with PAD, stage II fontaine will participate in this study. Their ages will be from 40-75 years old. They will be selected from kasr el ainy (faculty of medicine), Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. The patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups:
Group (A): 25 patients will receive transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for 45 minutes per session applied on calf muscle, combined with treadmill three days per week for twelve weeks in addition to the routine medical treatment.
Group (B): 25 patients will receive treadmill training for 45 minutes per session, three days per week for twelve weeks in addition to the routine medical treatment
详细描述
Procedures of the study:
a) Evaluating procedures: It will be performed before treatment and 12 weeks after treatment program.
History and physical examination:
Complete history taking will be conducted to collect data about patient's general condition, current medication, measuring blood pressure, heart rate and physical activity.
Anthropometric measurement:

结局指标
主要结局
Doppler ultrasonography
时间窗: 12 weeks( three months)
Doppler ultrasonography: (a General Electric Logic P6 machine equipped with a linear probe with 7.5-12 MHz frequency and a curvilinear probe with 2.5-7.5 MHz frequency ) Duplex ultrasound (DUS) is an integral component of diagnostic testing for the evaluation and management of arterial disease. this technology, which combines the acquisition of blood flow (pulsed Doppler spectral analysis) and anatomic (B-mode and color Doppler imaging) ultrasonography has the advantage of non-invasively measuring blood flow velocity in a quick and continuous manner based on the velocity of sound. DUS rapidly expanded into peripheral arterial, visceral arterial, and peripheral venous applications, Duplex scanning will be performed by an experienced operator. APSV is the mean of the peak systolic velocities of the anterior and posterior tibial arteries (PTAs) measured at the ankle level.
