Objectives: In April 2022, the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) published the Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for the management of intermittent claudication (IC). Our goal was to compare practice patterns before and after publication of the AUC to identify changes.
Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) peripheral vascular intervention (PVI), and suprainguinal, and infrainguinal bypass registries were analyzed for interventions for IC.
Single-centre, double-blinded, randomised placebo-controlled trial to determine the effect of a 12-week home-based programme of footplate neuromuscular electrical stimulation on walking capacity in people with peripheral artery disease: a protocol for the Foot-PAD trial.

Introduction: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can experience intermittent claudication, which limits walking capacity and the ability to undertake daily activities. While exercise therapy is an established way to improve walking capacity in people with PAD, it is not feasible in all patients. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) provides a way to passively induce repeated muscle contractions and has been widely used as a therapy for chronic conditions that limit functional capacity.

: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a prevalent vascular condition characterized by arterial narrowing, which impairs blood flow and manifests as intermittent claudication, a pain or cramping sensation induced by physical activity or ambulation. Walking distance is a crucial clinical indicator of peripheral artery disease, and it correlates with the disease severity and risk of mortality. It reflects the severity of the disease, with reduced mobility indicating an increased risk of morbidity.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern with a rising incidence, particularly in aging populations and those with a genetic predisposition. Over time, DM contributes to various complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and neuropathy. Among these, diabetic neuropathy and PAD stand out due to their high prevalence and significant impact on patients' quality of life.

Background: Personalised outcomes forecasts (POFs) were introduced among physical and exercise therapists in the Netherlands to optimise supervised exercise therapy for patients with intermittent claudication. Yet, therapists' initial adoption and sustainable implementation of POFs can be influenced by various factors.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine therapists' adoption of the POFs, their fidelity to the measurement protocol for supervised exercise therapy, and their perceived barriers and facilitators for using POFs in practice.
