NCT ID NCT06828172
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how arm crank exercise (like pedaling with your arms) changes blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) compared to healthy adults. Researchers will measure blood vessel function and oxygen levels in the calf before and after exercise. The goal is to understand if arm exercise can improve circulation in the legs without causing leg pain.
