Time to Save Time: Beneficial Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training and the Need to Quantify the Time Potentially Saved by its Application during Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
Phys Ther. 2021 Jul 6:pzab172. doi: 10.1093/ptj/pzab172. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe main goal of musculoskeletal rehabilitation is to achieve the pre-injury and/or pre-surgical physical function level with a low risk of re-injury. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is a promising alternative to conventional therapy approaches during musculoskeletal rehabilitation because various studies support its beneficial effects on muscle mass, strength, aerobic capacity, and pain perception. In this perspective article, we used an evidence-based progressive model of a rehabilitative program that integrated BFR in four rehab...
