The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of exercise training in addition to compression therapy on clinical severity, vein diameter, reflux and quality of life in venous insufficiency patients.
Volunteers who have been diagnosed with venous insufficiency according to the criteria of inclusion, who applied to Istanbul University Istanbul Medical Faculty Cardiovascular Surgery Department will be included this study.
Participants will be randomly allocated 2 groups using the 'Research Randomizer' website. In both groups, a common evaluation protocol will be applied to the patients.
Exercise training in addition to compression bandages will be applied to first group, compression bandages will be applied to second group.

| Exercise Training | Other | In exercise training, aerobic exercise and strengthening exercises, especially for gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles, will be applied to the patients. In addition the exercise training, Compression Therapy is applied to patients. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ) 20 | CIVIQ 20 is a disease-related quality of life assessment form especially for chronic venous insufficiency patients. The total score is at least 0 and at most 100, and the higher scores indicate better quality of life. | Change from Baseline Quality of Life at 6 weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Duplex Ultrasonography | Duplex Ultrasonography is a form of ultrasound that produces images that differentiate between the body's soft tissues and its fluid-filled structures. Duplex Ultrasonography provides information on vascular diameter and reflux in chronic venous insufficiency patients. | Duplex Ultrasonography results is evaluated at baseline and six weeks rehabilitation program. |

| Compression Therapy | Other | Compression therapy is a treatment applied to patients in the form of Four Layer Compression Bandage and Compression Stocking. Four Layer Compression Bandage is a treatment that requires four different types of bandages. The compression stocking is an elastic stock with various tension and length. |
|
| Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) | The VCSS was subsequently developed as an evaluative instrument that would be responsive to changes in disease severity over time and in response to treatment.The total score is at least 0 and at most 30, and the low scores are positively correlated with the severe clinical condition. | Assessment is performed at baseline and six weeks rehabilitation program. |
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | The levels of pain felt rest/activity/night will be measured using visual analogue scale (VAS). Patients will be asked to evaluate their pain status with a 10-point scale and high scores are positively correlated with pain. | Assessment is performed at baseline and six weeks rehabilitation program. |
| The 6 Minute Walk Test | The 6-min walk test (6 MWT) is a submaximal exercise test that entails measurement of distance walked over a span of 6 minutes. | Assessment is performed at baseline and six weeks rehabilitation program. |
| 10-Meter Walk Test | The 10mWT is used to assess walking speed in meters/second (m/s) over a short distance. | Assessment is performed at baseline and six weeks rehabilitation program. |
| Assessment of Muscle Strength with Handheld Dynamometer | The muscle strength of the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles will be evaluated using the handheld dynamometer. | Assessment is performed at baseline and six weeks rehabilitation program. |
| Short Form 36 (SF-36) | SF-36 is used to assess physical and mental health-related quality of life. The total score is at least 0 and at most 100, and the high scores are positively correlated with the high quality of life. | Assessment is performed before treatment and after six weeks rehabilitation program. |
| Measurement of Calf Girth | Circumference measurements will be recorded at 10 cm intervals of both lower legs. | Assessment is performed at baseline and six weeks rehabilitation program. |
