Send us Fan Mail

What is Intermittent Claudication? What causes this and why is it important that we treat it? How do we treat this in Physical Therapy? In this episode we cover:

• Causes of Intermittent Claudication
• Signs/Symptoms that patients report
• Scales of Severity (Fontaine's, Rutherford Classification, and Bollinger Angiographic Classification)
• Objective Measures
• Walking Program Recommendations

The purpose of this podcast is to provide useful, condensed information for exhausted, time-crunched Physical Therapists and Student Physical Therapists who looking to build confidence in their foundational knowledge base and still have time to focus on other important aspects of life.
