Does Blood Flow Restriction therapy decrease muscle and bone loss and improve time to return to sport in patients after ACL reconstruction?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Blood flow restriction therapy after ACL reconstruction may preserve muscle and bone mass and improve return to sport times compared to standard rehabilitation.
After ACLR, BFR may decrease muscle and bone loss for up to 12 weeks postoperatively and may improve time to RTS with functional outcomes comparable with those of standard rehabilitation.
