Light Load Blood Flow Restriction Training in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Patient Rehabilitation

NCT03419169 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is examining the post-operative rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction patients within the National Health Service (NHS). It will compare the effectiveness of two resistance training protocols, light load blood flow restriction (BFR) training and heavy load training, on improving multiple aspects important to the rehabilitation process in this patient demographic, whilst also examining the feasibility of this novel training modality. It is hypothesised that light load BFR training will be equally effective as heavy load training, but more tolerable for patients.
