Summary
This study tests a home-based exercise program called Smart MOVE! for Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that limits walking ability. Participants will use a wearable activity monitor and receive behavioral coaching via the MOVE! program. The goal is to see if this approach can improve walking distance and be a convenient alternative to facility-based supervised exercise.
