Abstract
Basic diagnostics includes inspection of the skin, palpation of leg and foot pulses and determination of the ankle-brachial-index. The hemodynamic relevance of the circulation problem is important for the therapeutic decision. For its determination several noninvasive procedures are available. Treadmill test can help to differentiate between vascular and other causes of walking limitation.
