A Determination of Efficacy and Therapeutic Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Training in an Adolescent Population
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Blood Flow Restriction using Delfi Personalized Tourniquet System for Blood Flow Restriction and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
While there are a number studies that have reported on the use of BFR in the adult population, there is limited information about the use of BFR in the adolescent population. This study aims to evaluate the use of BFR training in conjunction with traditional ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction rehabilitation in adolescents. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the addition of BFR-based exercise to traditional methods of physical therapy. Does the use of BFR-based exercise improve strength, hypertrophy, functional and patient reported outcomes after ACL Reconstruction in the adolescent population?
