Zusammenfassung: | Examine the comfort and pain experienced with blow flow restriction resistance training (BFR-RT) compared to standard care heavy load resistance training (HL-RT) during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) patient rehabilitation.
Randomised controlled trial.
United Kingdom National Health Service.
Twenty eight patients undergoing unilateral ACLR surgery with hamstring autograft were recruited. Following surgery participants were block randomised to either HL-RT at 70% repetition maximum (1RM) (n = 14) or BFR-RT (n = 14) at 30% 1RM and completed 8 weeks of twice weekly unilateral leg press training on both limbs.
Perceived knee pain, muscle pain and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were assessed using Borg’s (1998) RPE and pain scales during training. Knee pain was also assessed 24 h post-training.
There were no adverse events. Knee pain was lower with BFR-RT during (p |
