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 stress!
Objectives:
- Review exercise physiology principles of strength training
- Review current guidelines for traditional strength training
- Describe the history and science behind BFR
- Define safety and efficacy for the patient and clinician
- Demonstrate the application of BFR tourniquets
- Determine a patient’s limb occlusion pressure (LOP) using Doppler Ultrasound
- Apply BFR training methods and proposed protocols for rehabilitation
You can stop this course any time and start back where you left off. A quiz is provided at the end of the course with 27 questions to obtain a certificate for continuing education. 75% score required to receive a certificate, 1 hour time permitted and 3 attempts.
