ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We analyze the effects of graduated compression stoking (GCS) on walking capacity and oxygen saturation in intermittent claudication (IC) patients.METHODS:
Eighteen patients with IC performed the 6-minute walking test in 2 conditions in random order GCS or placebo sock. Onset claudication distance and total walking distance were obtained. The calf muscle oxygen saturation was continuously monitored before, during, and after 6-minute walk test. Comparisons of the walking capacity and StO2 parameters between GCS and placebo conditions were analyzed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test.RESULTS:
The onset claudication distance (GCS 120 ± 99 meters vs. placebo 150 ± 126 meters; P = 0.798) and total walking distance (GCS 330 ± 108 meters vs. placebo 324 ± 60 meters; P = 0.130) were similar between conditions. There were no differences in StO2 parameters between conditions (P > 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
GCS does not decrease walking performance and calf muscle oxygenation saturation during 6-minute walk test in patients with IC.
