What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable way to help veterans with PAD walk farther and feel better without needing in-person rehab.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study with no drug or device, so benefits may be modest. The results depend on participants sticking with the program, and the study is still recruiting.
