Use of the walking impairment questionnaire and walking estimated-limitation calculated by history questionnaire to detect maximal walking distance equal to or lower than 250m in patients with lower extremity arterial disease

Maximal walking distance (or time) as established during treadmill walking is widely used as an index of walking impairment. The assessment of maximal walking distance (MWD) is also an issue in the Rutherford LEAD classification, where identification of the stage depends on the patient`s ability to walk for 5 min at 2 mph at a 10% slope that corresponds to 267 m, rounded to 250 m.
