The PSV value before and after
the treatment of patients of the control and test groups show
statistically considerable variations in average values. The average
PSV value in both examined groups was substantially
reduced. No statistically significant divergence of the claudication
distance values had been established at the beginning
of the research among the patients of control and test groups.
Statistical analysis of the claudication distance value before
and after the treatment of patients of the control and test
groups show statistically considerable variations in average
values. The average value of claudication distance had significantly
increased in both examined groups. The best proofs
resulted from the studies that include monitoring of regular
and intensified trainings in a short period of time and under
controlled conditions. According to meta analyses of eight
studies gathering data for 319 patients, a controlled physical
therapy had shown, statistically and clinically, a considerable
difference in improvement of maximum claudication distance
on the treadmill in comparison with an uncontrolled physical
therapy (+150 m, average).
