NCT04528992 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2024-11-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a study comparing the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy on the maturation of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) graft after reconstruction surgery compared to physical therapy without the use of BFR.

Conditions

  • Knee Injuries
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy

BFR is a rehabilitation method that involves wearing a tight band around the exercising extremity to briefly limit blood flow while doing light weight exercises. The response is similar to heavy weight training or lifting but without the stress on the extremity that is still healing from surgery. Will be given after 2 weeks standard postoperative physical therapy per surgeon's ACL reconstruction protocol following surgery.

OTHER

Standard Postoperative Physical Therapy

This is the surgeon's standard postoperative physical therapy protocol after ACL reconstruction.
