The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the correlation between ergometry in men with peripheral vascular disease exercising with both legs and with one leg and both arms. Fifteen men with peripheral vascular disease performed three symptom-limited exercise tests on an ergometer that could be operated from a wheelchair with both legs or with one leg and both arms. These data establish strong correlations between measures of exercise capacity with both legs the methods described here for ergometry with one leg plus both arms are a valid measure of exercise capacity in unilateral lower extremity amputees.
