Effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy on ACL Graft Maturation

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a study comparing the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy on the maturation of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) graft after reconstruction surgery compared to physical therapy without the use of BFR.

Clinical Trial Description

The study will be a randomized controlled trial to compare outcomes between physical therapy with BFR and physical therapy without BFR on the ACL graft maturation following reconstruction surgery. BFR therapy will begin as early as 2 weeks after surgery. The initial 2 weeks after surgery, or prior to initiation of BFR, will consist of the physical therapy following the surgeon's postoperative protocol. To be considered for participation in this study, patients must be 18 years and older undergoing primary ACL reconstruction. In addition, patients must meet several inclusion/exclusion criteria to be randomized and included in this study. ;
