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

This randomized controlled trial compares blood flow restriction (BFR) training to sham-BFR training in adults aged 65 and older undergoing acute geriatric rehabilitation after a hip fracture. Participants ride a stationary bike five times per week for two weeks while the intervention group uses BFR and the control group uses a sham procedure. Outcomes focus on feasibility and changes in general health and muscle-related measures. The study is conducted at St. Marien Hospital Köln with University Hospital Bonn as the lead sponsor. Recruitment targets patients hospitalized for two weeks post-fracture in a geriatric rehabilitation setting.
