Summary

The study aims to evaluate the effect of low load resistance training combined with blood flow restriction or sham blood flow restriction in patients with anterior knee pain and rotator cuff related shoulder pain in a cross-over two-arm randomized, participant and assessor blinded design. More specifically, we aim to investigate the acute and short-term hypoalgesic response (by evaluating pressure pain detection thresholds) of low load exercise with blood flow restriction or sham blood flow restriction, the effect of these interventions in pain during clinical testing, and the possibility of a placebo effect.

Conditions

  • Knee Pain Chronic
  • Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinosis

Interventions

OTHER

Blood flow restriction (BFR) with low load resistance training
