Functional Status in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Rehabilitated Versus Nonrehabilitated
ANNALS OF VASCULAR SURGERY(2024)
Abstract
Background: To analyze patient perception of functional status related to activity and participation of rehabilitated and nonrehabilitated individuals with peripheral arterial disease. Methods: Cross-sectional study assessing the activity and participation domain using the Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire and the Participation Scale, respectively. Groups were compared using Chi-squared test and unpaired t -test. Results: A total of 87 individuals (36 rehabilitated) with 65.28 +/- 8.29 years (66.7% male) were included. HAP classified 58.6% of individuals with weak or inactive physical activity level, and approximately half of the sample did not have participation restriction. HAP scores and Participation Scale (locomotion inside and outside home) were lower in nonrehabilitated than in rehabilitated individuals. Conclusions: Individuals with peripheral arterial disease presented little participation restriction and a great activity limitation, the last one being more evident among nonrehabilitated.
