Implication

May enable strength gains in load-intolerant clinical populations; leaves open efficacy and safety pending targeted trials.

Structured PICO

Is low load blood flow restriction training a safe and effective rehabilitation tool for clinical populations?

Population

Clinical populations requiring rehabilitation

Intervention

Low load (LL) blood flow restriction (BFR) training

Outcome

Muscular strength and hypertrophy

Low load blood flow restriction training is emerging as a safe and effective alternative to moderate/high load resistance training for rehabilitation in clinical populations.

Limitations

Additional research is needed prior to widespread application
