Article Synopsis
- Knee muscle atrophy and weakness are common issues following ACL reconstruction, and blood flow restriction (BFR) training is a new method being explored for treatment, although evidence on its effectiveness is currently limited.* -
- A systematic review evaluated studies comparing BFR training to conventional therapy, focusing on knee muscle morphology and strength in ACL-reconstructed patients, finding that out of six studies, some showed favorable outcomes for BFR training.* -
- The findings suggest that while BFR training may improve muscle size and strength, the overall evidence is inconsistent and of limited quality, leading to a grade B recommendation for its use in clinical practice.*
Objective: To evaluate biomechanical measures in runners with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI) using wearable sensors during two 1600 m track runs at a slow- and fast-pace.
Design: Observational case-control.
Setting: Field.
