Effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction in Postoperative Rehabilitation for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries. A Pilot Study.
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Rehabilitation
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of adding Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) therapy to a standardized rehabilitation protocol in patients undergoing postoperative rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does combining BFR therapy with a standardized rehabilitation protocol improve functional recovery compared to rehabilitation alone? Does the addition of BFR therapy enhance muscle strength and reduce recovery time in patients after ACL repair surgery? Participants will undergo their assigned rehabilitation protocol and will be assessed prior to and after the intervention to determine if the addition of BFR therapy to the standard rehabilitation programme significantly improves functional recovery, muscle strength, and overall rehabilitation outcomes following ACL repair surgery.
