| description | Peripheral artery disease is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis, and these patients often have claudication pain in the legs during activity. This leads to generally adopting an inactive lifestyle; hence, even small changes in physical activity could reduce the risk of an adverse cardiovascular event. For patients with peripheral artery disease compliance with non-invasive interventions like assistive devices and long-term exercise therapy is important for improved health outcomes. Benefits to patients can only be measured if patients with peripheral artery disease adhere to the intervention and barriers are identified with improved solutions. The effect of mobile health including pedometers and smartphone technological applications in motivating the patient to continue adhering to the intervention and persist in physical activity is a new venture to be explored. |
