Blood Flow Restriction Therapy Following Acute Shoulder Injury Patients — BFR  

Shoulder Injury Clinical Trial

Official title:
Blood Flow Restriction Therapy Following Acute Shoulder Injury Patients: Assessment of Efficacy in Return to Activity

Clinical Trial Summary

Atrophy and weakness of the shoulder are a common problem following treatment of a number of shoulder and elbow pathologies. Even with relatively short periods of reduced activity, the magnitude of muscle loss can be quite substantial.

Clinical Trial Description

Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is one such therapeutic tool that has received increasing attention, which involves application of a pressurized tourniquet to the injured limb during rehabilitation that limits atrophy when performing strength training with weight that otherwise would not produce enough of a contraction to prevent muscular atrophy. To date, several studies have been performed on BFR therapy, however, the effect of therapy on ligamentous and tendinous injury in the upper extremity remain unclear as most studies have focused on muscular strengthening in healthy individuals and on lower extremity injuries distal to the tourniquet. ;
