I vaguely recall something about nonweight bearing activities being beneficial, but I’m not confident about which option is the exception.

I feel like we had a practice question about the intensity of activity and how it relates to claudication. It seems like option B aligns with what we learned.

I remember we discussed how important it is to push through some discomfort during exercise for claudication, so I think stopping at the onset of pain might not be the right approach.
