No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Researchers are trying to find out whether the use of low-intensity strength exercises during the 2 weeks before surgery, and while the blood flow to the leg is reduced, will improve the outcomes after surgery to repair an injured ligament of the knee.

Conditions

  • ACL Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise Blood Flow Restriction training

While exercising, an Inflatable cuff, similar to a blood pressure cuff, is applied to the proximal aspect of the femur of the affected lower extremity inflated to occlude blood flow

BEHAVIORAL

SHAM Exercise Blood Flow Restriction training

While exercising Inflatable cuff, similar to a blood pressure cuff, applied to the proximal aspect of the femur of the affected lower extremity with limited inflation pressure to not occlude blood flow
