| Research Abstract |
Effects of comprehensive rehabilitation including exercise therapy on walking ability and health-related quality of life (HRQOL)were evaluated in patients with moderate and severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Exercise therapy improved the walking ability and HRQOL assessed with the walking impairment questionnaire (WIQ)and 36-item Short-Form (SF-36). However, the walking ability correlated with the scores of all four domains of WIQ only before exercise therapy.
