Effect of Resisted Blood Flow Restriction

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Complication

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of adding resisted blood flow restriction (BFR) training to a standard exercise program in adults aged 50-60 with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does adding BFR training significantly increase muscle strength compared to standard exercise alone? Does the BFR intervention lead to measurable improvements in balance and physical function? Researchers will compare a group performing standard therapeutic exercise combined with BFR to a control group performing the same exercise program without BFR to see if the BFR group achieves superior gains in strength and functional independence. Participants will: Complete a 12-week supervised exercise program in an outpatient setting. Wear compression cuffs on their limbs during low-intensity resistance exercises (for the BFR group). Undergo assessments for muscle strength (via handheld dynamometry), balance, and functional mobility before and after the intervention.
