Nordic pole walking improves walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication: a randomized controlled trial
31 Mar 2025
A randomized controlled trial conducted in Poland has shown that Nordic Walking (NW) is as effective as traditional treadmill training (TT) in improving walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication (IC), a symptom of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Over a 3-month rehabilitation program, patients practicing NW experienced significant improvements in claudication distance and maximum walking distance, with added benefits such as reduced fatigue and improved stability. The study highlights NW as a cost-effective, accessible, and safe rehabilitation method that can be performed outdoors or in groups, making it an excellent option for enhancing mobility, endurance, and quality of life in PAD patients.
