Background This was a randomized clinical trial to determine whether Nordic pole walking (NPW) is more effective in improving walking distance than a standard home exercise programme (HEP) in patients with intermittent claudication. Methods Fifty-two patients with stable claudication were allocated randomly to a standard HEP or NPW group, and asked to complete three 30-min walks per week for 12?weeks. Claudication distance (CD) and maximum walking distance (MWD) were measured at 0 (baseline), 4, 8 and 12?weeks. Patients in the NPW group were tested with (NPW+) and without (NPW–) poles. Results For NPW+, CD increased immediately from a median (range) of 124 (71–248)?m to 148 (116–426)?m, and MWD from 248 (149–900) to 389 (194–1099)?m (P?=?0·004 and P < 0·001 respectively). By 12?weeks, CD had further increased to 199 (118–550)?m and MWD had more than doubled to 538 (250–1750)?m (P?
