Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

773
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human Physiology
  • Anthropometry

Background:

  • Body posture is influenced by various individual and environmental factors.
  • Musculoskeletal causes of postural alterations present a clinical challenge.
  • Body weight changes impact plantar pressure and foot pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate body composition using bioimpedance analysis (BIA).
  • To analyze plantar pressure distribution via pressure platform analysis.
  • To compare these metrics between genders and explore their associations.

Main Methods:

  • Observational cross-sectional study design.
  • Assessed 77 participants (53 female, 24 male) aged 18-91.
  • Utilized bioimpedance analysis and baropodometry.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in plantar pressure characteristics were observed between genders.
  • Positive correlations found between age, BMI, fat mass, lean mass, and foot metrics.
  • Age and height showed a significant negative correlation.

Conclusions:

  • Plantar pressure distribution is associated with body composition and pain levels.
  • Gender is a significant factor influencing plantar pressure characteristics.
  • Integrating body composition and plantar pressure analysis is crucial for understanding foot health.
