Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
OMT Session and Doppler Ultrasonography
OMT Session Patients with PAD will be received 30 minutes of osteopathic manual treatment for one session. During application, the patient was in the supine position. OMT treatment session include, sub occipital release technique, supraclavicular release technique, sternal mobilization, omentum minus release, liver pumping, diaphragmatic mobilization, grand manevra technique, hip mobilization, knee mobilization and ankle mobilization. Each technique was applied for 3 minutes to patients. Doppler Ultrasonography Femoral artery diameter and flow evaluated by radiologist. In the evaluation, the wall contour characteristics of the vessel to be examined were evaluated and the diameter was measured. Color doppler examination was performed to determine whether the vessel contained color filling, patency, flow direction and turbulence. Peak systolic and end diastolic flow rates and flow pattern and flow rate were measured by spectral examination
