Prescribed exercise with compression vs compression alone in treating patients with venous leg ulcers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
JAMA Nov 22, 2018
Jull A, et al. - Researchers evaluated the correlation of different exercise interventions with venous leg ulceration (VLU) healing when used as an adjuvant to any form of compression. Findings suggested an association of exercise with increased VLU healing at 12 weeks although the effect was imprecise. They found that the combination of progressive resistance exercise plus prescribed physical activity was most efficacious, again with imprecision. Based on these findings, clinicians can consider recommending simple progressive resistance and aerobic activity to suitable patients with VLU.
