Abstract BACKGROUND & PURPOSE
PAD affects the lower extremities more commonly than the upper extremity vessels, and may lead to an recurrent fatigue, cramping sensation, or pain that is known as claudication intermittents. Although PAD has traditionally been perceived as a diseaseaffecting men, the prevalence of PAD appears to be equal among senior men and women. The patho-physiology of atherosclerosis involves complex interactions between cholesterol and vascular cells. The ultimate effect of these consequences may deteriorate the Quality of life in peripheral arterial disease patients. Obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia may change the quality of life. Regular physical activity is the most effective treatment.Simplewalking regimens, leg exercises, and treadmill exercise programscanresult in decreased symptoms.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of strength training and treadmill walking on pain free walking & quality of life in subjects with peripheral arterial diseases.
 To assess the pain free walking distance by ACSM claudication scale
 To assess the quality of life by using VASCUQOL -6
METHODOLGY
30 Peripheral arterial disease subjects were randomized into two groups. Group A received strengthtraining whereas group B treadmill training for a duration of 12 weeks. ACSM claudication scale & VASCUQOL-6 were used to asses pain free walking & quality of life before and after the treatment.
RESULTS
Between the group analysis of group, A and B revealed that there is a significant difference observed in between two groups by using ACSM claudication scale with a p value is 0.0097 considered very significant & p- value of VASCUQOL-6V is <0.0001 which is considered extremely significant
CONCLUSION
Both strength training & treadmill training play a prominent role on pain free walking distance & quality of life in subjects with peripheral arterial disease.
Keywords PVD, strength training, ASCM pain rating scale, VASCUQOL-6
