Abstract
Background
Lower extremity peripheral artery disease is a problem of contemporary medicine and
along with the ischemic heart disease it is considered to be a civilization disease.
The risk of the disease increases significantly within a group of people reaching
the age of 55 years and is closely related to co-occurring hazardous factors, such
as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension or tobacco smoking. The first symptom reported
by patients is intermittent claudication. Such symptoms may indicate that lower extremity
peripheral artery disease does have an impact on posture disorders and motor skills.
Methods
The study covered four stages. The first stage involved medical interviews to obtain
information regarding anthropometry, age, motor organ surgery, concomitant diseases
and the lifestyle. In the following stage the value of the ankle brachial index for
both lower limbs were calculated. In case of symptomatic patients, additionally, the
location of artery stenosis/aortoiliac section, was verified. The third stage involved
using a dynamometric platform for determination of the body mass center position for
both studied groups. In the fourth stage a treadmill walk test was used to assess
the participants for intermittent claudication.
Findings
Based on the obtained results, an attempt was taken to observe the relationship between
the clinical characteristics of the disease and the body mass center position deviations.
Interpretation: The attempt was undertaken to assess whether the measurement of body mass center
position might be a diagnostic parameter to evaluate the patient's condition and thus
an indication for taking a decision for surgical treatment or rehabilitation.
