Summary

The aim is to demonstrate that preoperative exercises (pre-habilitation) using blood-flow restriction training (BFRT) is safe, well tolerated, improves muscle function, decreases functional limitation, and increases physical activity in older adults awaiting total knee replacement (TKR).

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT)

Participants will be performing low-resistance exercise with (BFRT). Intervention will start at least seven days after initial evaluation, so it does not influence measures of real-time physical activity. We will use a log to register exercise completion and to record bilateral knee pain before, during and after each intervention session
