NCT ID NCT07169045
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a 6-minute stepper test is a reliable way to measure exercise ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Researchers will compare it to standard tests like the 6-minute walk test and a treadmill test. The goal is to find a simple, low-cost tool that doctors can use in small spaces. About 24 adults with stable PAD will participate.
