Improve your clinical toolbox with an evidence-based framework for blood flow restriction (BFR) training in the rehabilitation setting. Blood flow restriction training is a safe and effective technique that allows your patients and clients to achieve the same physiological adaptations associated with high intensity strength training, without the joint or tissue stress!
Objectives:
- Review exercise physiology principles of strength training
- Discuss safety and efficacy of BFR
- Recall application of BFR tourniquets
- Define patient’s limb occlusion pressure (LOP) using Ultrasound
- List BFR training methods and proposed protocols for post-op ACL patients
