Far Red Light to Improve Functioning in PAD

All participants will receive one far red light device per leg. Participants will be asked to use their two light devices daily, exposing their bare legs to the devices for 10 minutes twice per day. A study coordinator will deliver the light devices to each participant's home, positioning the devices 15 cm behind the participant's heels, using tape on the floor to mark where the light and feet should be positioned. Twice each day, the participant flips a switch on the device to begin each session. A timer will turn off the device after 10 minutes. A power meter will measure the total time that the device was turned on. Participants will also record use of the light in a log.
