Summary

Purpose of the study is; to investigate the effect of exercises combined with blood flow restriction on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance in healthy individuals. There is no randomized controlled study of the effect of upper extremity exercises performed by restricting blood flow on the joint sensation of individuals and functional motor performance in healthy individuals. For this reason, purpose of the study is; to investigate the effect of exercises combined with blood flow restriction on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance in healthy individuals. Pain intensity with the numerical pain rating scale (NRS), muscle strength with digital hand dynamometer, shoulder and elbow proprioception with inclinometer, functional motor performance with Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stabilization Test, Functional Throwing Performance Index, Single Arm Shot Put Test, Modified Pull-Up Test evaluation of 60 healthy individuals without neck and upper extremity pain, the fracture and surgical history for the upper extremity, cervical and thoracic area that prevent them to participate in the study will be made. Participants will randomly be separated into 2 groups of 30 people each. Elbow bending exercises with blood flow restriction will be performed to the exercise group during 6 weeks for 3 times a week accompanied by a physiotherapist. Control group will continue daily activities and a brochure on strengthening exercises and protection from injuries. Evaluations will be repeated 2 times and analyzed before the treatment and at the end of the 6th week. With the project, the investigators aim to improve the strength, improve proprioception and functional motor performance in healthy individuals by performing exercises restricting blood flow. With the achievement of the targets, exercises combined with blood flow restriction can be considered among the treatments protective for injuries, healing proprioception. The investigators also believe that the project will blaze the trail for the studies to be performed on athletes.
