1 million Australians have blockage of their lower limb arteries, which causes leg pain and walking impairment that reduces quality of life and increases the risk of amputation and death. Based on a systematic review of past evidence, in collaboration with patients and other key stakeholders we have designed a remotely-supervised exercise program to improve function and quality of life of people with leg artery blockage. This controlled, randomised clinical trial will examine the e?cacy of this novel program. Positive ?ndings from this trial will be followed by wide dissemination of the program. This will benefit James Cook University through recognition for performing internationally leading health research of global significance.
