Feasibility of Prehabilitation Blood-flow Restriction Training in Individuals Awaiting Total Knee Replacement.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) for Knee Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim is to demonstrate that preoperative exercises (pre-habilitation) using blood-flow restriction training (BFRT) is safe, well tolerated, improves muscle function, decreases functional limitation, and increases physical activity in older adults awaiting total knee replacement (TKR).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will be performing low-resistance exercise with (BFRT). Intervention will start at least seven days after initial evaluation, so it does not influence measures of real-time physical activity. We will use a log to register exercise completion and to record bilateral knee pain before, during and after each intervention session
