Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single osteopathic manuel treatment (OMT) session on femoral artery diameter and flow in patients diagnosed with (Peripheral Arterial Disease) PAD. 15 patients, diagnosed with PAD, (11 male, 4 female) were included in the study. The OMT circulation model was applied to the participants for one session. Before and after the application, femoral artery diameter and flow were evaluated by radiologist. Evaluating the diameter and flow parameters according to affected extremity, it was found that femoral artery diameter and flow values showed an increase in all patients; however, the difference was not found to be statistically significant. However, comparing diameter and flow parameters in all patients showed an increase in left and right femoral artery diameter and flow. Right femoral artery diameter parameter was found to have a statistically significant difference when compared to the parameter before the application of OMT (p=0,014). While a single session of OMT did not yield statistically significant results in artery diameter and flow in affected extremities, clinically increases were detected.
