- Graduated Compression Stockings Does Not Decrease Walking Capacity and Muscle Oxygen Saturation during 6-Minute Walk Test in Intermittent Claudication Patients(2017) CAVALCANTE, Bruno Remigio; RITTI-DIAS, Raphael Mendes; SOARES, Antonio Henrique Germano; DOMINGUES, Wagner Jorge Ribeiro; SAES, Glauco Fernandes; DUARTE, Flavio Henrique; CRUZ, Aline de Paula da; WOLOSKER, Nelson; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; CUCATO, Gabriel Grizzo; ZERATI, Antonio EduardoBackground: 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 StO(2) 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 StO(2) 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.
- Symptoms of anxiety and depression and their relationship with barriers to physical activity in patients with intermittent claudication(2021) RAGAZZO, Luciana; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; WOLOSKER, Nelson; LUCCIA, Nelson de; SAES, Glauco; RITTI-DIAS, Raphael M.; CUCATO, Gabriel Grizzo; KAMIKAVA, Debora Yumi Ferreira; ZERATI, Antonio EduardoOBJECTIVES: Although the practice of physical exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) is often encouraged, adherence is low. The difficulty in performing physical training may be related to the psychological characteristics of patients with claudication. To verify the association between anxiety and depression symptoms and barriers to physical exercise and walking capacity in patients with IC. METHODS: One-hundred and thirteen patients with a clinical diagnosis of IC were included in the study. Patients underwent clinical evaluation by a vascular surgeon, answered the Beck Depression Inventory, and Beck Anxiety Inventory tests were applied by the psychologist. The patients performed the 6-minute test and reported their barriers to physical activity practice in a questionnaire. RESULTS: Patients with signs of depression had a shorter pain-free walking distance (p=0.015) and total walking distance (p=0.035) compared to patients with no signs of depression. Pain-free walking distance (p=0.29) and total walking distance (p=0.07) were similar between patients with and without signs of anxiety. Patients with symptoms of moderate to severe depression reported more barriers to physical activity practice compared to patients without signs of depression. CONCLUSION: Symptoms of anxiety and depression are prevalent among patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD). Depression symptoms are associated with personal barriers to exercise, while anxiety symptoms are not. The main barriers to physical activity among patients with IC are exercise-induced pain and the presence of other diseases.
