Webinar | The Role of Physiotherapy in Intermittent Claudication

The Europe Region of World Physiotherapy held a webinar on the role of Physiotherapy in Intermittent Claudication.

Intermittent Claudication, which is caused by peripheral artery disease, affects millions of Europeans, leading to severe disability and adverse health consequences. Despite the established effectiveness of exercise and the recommendation in guidelines, physiotherapy treatment is rarely offered to these patients.

An exception to that is the Netherlands, where the Royal Dutch Society for Physiotherapy (KNGF) in collaboration with Chronic CareNet have been actively promoting treatment for Intermittent Claudication.

In this webinar we will present the guidelines for physiotherapy treatment for Intermittent Claudication, developed by KNGF followed by a discussion by a panel of experts and a Q&A session.
