Rehabilitation of Patients with Vascular Diseases | Chapter 12 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 A supervised Vascular Rehabilitation programme has demonstrated the improvement of absolute walking distance and the elimination of pain at rest of peripheral obstructive arterial origin, the adequate treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, the healing of arterial and venous vascular ulcers even in patients previously amputees or disabled to walk, and the reduction of the likelihood of further amputations, allowing patients to be more functionally independent. It inhibits and reverses the pathology in lymphedema sufferers.

Our work plan consists of a scientific and evidence-based medical assessment to establish the degree of vascular health in the legs and to develop a specific treatment strategy. The high prevalence and incidence of these diseases, as well as the significant costs of treatment, studies, and research, as well as the loss of working hours and overall impact on the quality of life of those who suffer from them, make this an urgent concern.
