Official title
Blood Flow Restrictive Training Following Medial Patellofemoral Ligament and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Rehabilitation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Blood flow restrictive (BFR) therapy following MPFL or ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. Specific Aim 1: Test whether maintaining BFR cuff inflation or deflating between exercises results in greater quadriceps strength and functional outcomes after MPFL or ACL reconstruction. Hypothesis 1: Subjects in the deflate BFR protocol group will have significantly greater quadriceps strength, symmetric leg symmetry index on a battery of functional tests and PROs as compared to the non-deflate group. Specific Aim 2: Compare whether maintaining BFR cuff inflation or deflating between exercises results in reduced pain, improved exercise tolerance, and patient-reports outcomes (PRO) after MPFL or ACL reconstruction. Hypothesis 2: Subjects in the deflated BFR protocol group will report significantly less pain and greater exercise tolerance during exercise with significantly improved knee related PRO scores.
