The Impact of Nordic Pole Walk Advice Alone or in Combination with Exercise Strategies on Daily Physical Activity in Patients with Intermittent Claudication. A Randomized Clinical Trial.

At the 1-year follow-up, the addition of intermittent claudication-tailored additional exercise strategies did not improve daily physical activity in patients with intermittent claudication compared with unsupervised Nordic pole walk advice alone. Future studies may explore the role of behavior change techniques to increase physical activity in this patient group.
