The test battery provides a reliable assessment of patients with claudication and can be widely used to evaluate the effects of exercise programmes and other therapeutic interventions. For the individual, changes in VL-MT, ABI, MVT, and 6MWT greater than the minimum likely change as a result of an exercise programme or an intervention are likely changes and less influenced by error associated with the test.
