Summary

Background; Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is a physical intervention that promotes many beneficial muscular activities and functions when low load/intensity is used in healthy and clinical populations.

Objectives: To determine the effect of BFRT on upper extremity motor function, strength, and Activity of daily living in chronic/acute stroke patients.

Conditions

  • Hemiparesis

Interventions

OTHER

blood flow restriction training

Position of the patient The vascular occlusion pressure required for the full blockage of upper extremity blood flow will be measured at rest, with the individual relaxed in a sitting position(Sieljacks et al., 2018). Position of the of the cuff during BFRT Placing a 5 to 6 cm wide cuff on the more proximal part of the affected upper limb, it should be around the bulk of biceps muscle above the cubital fossa . BFRT Cuff Pressure The upper arm external pressure of the cuff (100-130 mmHg) will be selected concerning the subject's resting blood pressure as described previously by Yasuda et al. 2008 (Yasuda et al., 2008). BFRT exercises prescription 1. Exercise frequency and duration -The study group (BFRT G) will be subjected to supervised exercises with low-load blood flow restriction training LIBFR (three days per week for 8 weeks), 2. Exercise intensity -Low load blood flow restriction training LIBFR (20%-40% of 10 repetition maximum (10 RM) BFR training for the study group,

OTHER

regular exercises

the routine rehabilitation will be applied 3 times per week for 8 weeks, including the following training 1. Appropriate neurodevelopmental techniques as needed by each patient 2. Progressive resistance exercise for muscles in the affected upper extremity using sandbags, free weights, or elastic resistance bands according to each patient's abilities 3. prolonged stretching using splints if needed 4. Functional electrical stimulation (FES)
