Chronic Venous Insufficiency Clinical Trial
— CVIOfficial title:
The Effect of Structured Exercise on Chronic Venous Insufficiency: A Feasibility Trial
Individuals with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) face a number of complications, such as,
muscular dysfunction, limited ankle range of motion(ROM) and diminished calf muscle pump
function. Exercise therapy has been shown to improve calf muscle pump function and symptoms
and may provide additional therapeutic benefits. It has been reported that structured
exercise has the ability to improve ankle joint range of motion, calf muscle strength and
calf muscle pump function.
Participants will receive the 12-week structured resistance exercise programme, 'Strength
from Within', a warm up and cool down, walking programme and range of motion exercises.
Participants will complete the Short Form quality of life (SF-36) Health Survey and the
venous clinical severity score questionnaire.
Baseline testing will be conducted. The following measures will be employed in the study
through a baseline testing and repeated at the end of the study period (week 12): Functional
ambulatory measurements, physical activity measurements (muscle endurance), isokinetic
testing (strength), duplex ultrasound scanning.
A combination of upper and lower body structured exercise as well as, ankle join range of
motion and a walking regimen has the potential to have a significant impact on an
individual's calf muscle pump function and avoid these potentially harmful side effects of
lower body exercise programmes
