Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which exercise intervention using static stretching significantly improves walking ability, physical function, and quality of life in patients with LEAD compared with conventional CR, which focuses on aerobic exercise.

Interventions/Control_1

A static stretching program will be performed at home for a total of 30 minutes per day, three times a week for 12 weeks. Stretching will be performed using an ankle dorsiflexion splint , targeting the triceps surae. At the first intervention, the principal investigator will explain the procedure and visually check the attachment of the device to ensure safety. Patients will be contacted by phone at weeks 1, 2, 6, and 12 to confirm the implementation status and whether the stretches are being performed effectively. After the 12-week period, supervised CR will be implemented immediately.

Interventions/Control_2

Patients are instructed to perform standard CR programs (such as treadmill walking) at least once per week, aiming for a total of three exercise therapy sessions per week including unsupervised sessions. Exercise status during unsupervised sessions is confirmed by CR staff at each visit.
