Cardiac Rehab for PAD PatientsSupervised exercise training
for peripheral artery disease
Recognizing the need for cardiac rehabilitation for patients who suffer from peripheral artery disease, The Christ Hospital Health Network designed a program specifically to help PAD patients who experience pain while walking. This medically monitored exercise and education program consists of 36 sessions, where
patients walk on a treadmill three to five days per week
during a 12-week period. Each session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.
Program goals
The goals for the program are designed to help each patient get back to a better quality of life. Some of these goals include:
Increase strength and endurance
Improve gait with less pain
Prevent progression of peripheral artery disease
Lower risk of cardiovascular events
Improve functional ability
Lifestyle modification and risk factor management education
In addition to those goals, patients will benefit from additional help in lifestyle modification and better education around managing risk factors. Some of these benefits include:
