[Screening and follow-up of patients with arteriopathies of the lower limbs using the test proposed by Laing].

: The Authors tested a standard exercise suggested by Laing in 1980 for the screening and the follow-up of patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the arteries of the lower limbs. Were included in this study 44 patients with monolateral symptoms and was studied the asymptomatic limb. The results were compared with the ones obtained by the traditional exercise proposed by Strandness and with the ones of a control group studied with the two tests. The excellent correlation of the data gives us the opportunity to reaffirm the utility of the Laing's standard exercise in the clinical investigation of potentially arteriopathic patients.
