Remote leg strength test could change PAD monitoring
NCT ID NCT07497360
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple leg strength test, the 30-second sit-to-stand test, gives the same results when done over a video call as in person. Researchers will enroll 45 adults with peripheral artery disease (PAD) to compare both methods. If remote testing proves reliable, it could make follow-up care easier for patients who have trouble traveling to clinics.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote assessments are reliable for monitoring leg strength in PAD patients, making follow-up care more convenient.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to all PAD patients. The study does not test a treatment, only a measurement method.
