Study Summary

Muscle weakness or atrophy is a common condition following acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. Strength training is an imperative component in clinical rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. Heavy exercise loads (approximately 70% of one repetition maximum) is necessary to elicit muscle hypertrophy and strength gains. However, patients with severe muscle atrophy are frequently unable to tolerate these loads due to pain. Blood flow resistance training with low resistance loads may be used to safely develop muscle strength.

Primary Outcome

Isometric knee flexor and extensor strength will be measured with an isokinetic dynamometer before training and after each series of 9 training sessions

Interventions

  • OTHER Blood flow restriction training
