The latest TASC II recommendations have significantly changed the main rule of the training march on the treadmill. Nowadays, it is recommended that the patients should stop walking when their pain reaches a ”mean” intensity while previously they were told to stop treading the moment pain appeared. For a kinesitherapeutist, supervising trainings on treadmill, the main question remains how to recognise in practise “mean” intensity of pain. This is why, the primary aim of the study was to establish what range of march, in practise corresponds to “mean” intensity of pain as well as what were the hemodynamic consequences of marching \(walking\) with pain. Having reached mean results of treadmill march for 35 patients with advanced II grade morbidity according to Fontaine’s scale, it was found that painless distance accounts for 60 percent of maximal distance, while main intensity of pain lasts up to 85 % of maximal distance, with this distance being determined as submaximal. As of that moment the pain tends to increase. The presented data indicate that a patient on treadmill, suffering pain in the shanks, covers a distance which is equivalent to 25 percent of the maximal distance. The enhanced requirements concerning patients, as a rule suffering from multipl"]
