Summary

This study is conducted to investigate the effects of low load Blood Flow Resistance exercise to improve strength and transfer in lower cervical spinal cord injury patientsCervical Spinal Cord injury patients have very less window of opportunity towards functional mode of life. In complete cervical spinal cord injuries only few muscles of upper limb are completely innervated and it is a need to gain maximum output and advantage out of that. Through conventional strength training it is possible to make him do unsupported sitting and transfer But with BFR-RE it may have a possibility to do this procedure in less time than the conventional strength training and patient will save cost of hospital stay as he may timely discharge from hospital early

Conditions

  • Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

OTHER

Blood flow restriction

strengthening protocol but with Blood flow restriction technique .Standard BFR Application: a standard pressure (used for all patients) for e.g. 180 mmHg; a pressure relative to the patient's systolic blood pressure, for e.g. 1.2 - or 1.5-fold greater than systolic blood pressure.40% cuff pressure as percentage of LOP.(4) And performing BFR-RE with low load exercises. So 30% of 1 RPM would be enough 4 times a week for 6 week

OTHER

Conventional physical therapy

Resistance exercise 75 repetitions across four sets of exercises, with30 repetitions in the first set and 15 repetitions in each subsequent set. 4 times a week for 6
