Blood flow restriction training after knee arthroscopy to help quadriceps

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Participants who have knee arthroscopy will follow a standard rehab program for 2 weeks, then receive either constant-pressure blood flow restriction training or a sham BFRT for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if CP-BFRT changes neurophysiological responses related to Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition and improves physical function. The study uses 60–80% occlusion during BFRT and compares outcomes to a placebo-like sham intervention. Safety will be monitored, and all participants provide informed consent with follow-up assessments planned.
