Summary

This trial aims to reduce falls in older adults with peripheral artery disease (PAD) by adding balance exercises to their current exercise programs. These exercises help improve stability and strength, making it easier for them to walk and reducing their risk of falling. The goal is to help these individuals manage their leg pain and walking difficulties more effectively.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Supervised Exercise Therapy (SET) Plus Balance ExercisesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Intervention meetings surrounding supervised exercise therapy (SET) with the addition of the adapted Otago Exercise Program (OEP) will occur individually with participants in a 1:1 format once per week for 30 minutes over 8 weeks. Additionally, participants will be encouraged to practice exercises at home at least 2 additional days between intervention meetings using visual handouts (up to 7 times/week total, approximately 140 minutes/week).
