Summary

This study looks at whether a device that gently moves the legs back and forth (like paddling) can improve blood flow and walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) during long periods of sitting. About 24 adults aged 50-85 with PAD and healthy controls will each sit for 2.5 hours twice—once with the device and once without—to compare effects on blood vessels, walking, and heart function. The goal is to see if this simple, passive exercise can protect leg health during sedentary time.
