The Impact of Blood Flow Restriction and Resistance Training on Functional Outcomes and Fatigue in People with Multiple Sclerosis
Low-load RT + BFR and heavy-load RT elicited comparable improvements among indices of strength, endurance, and walking speed with greater improvements in fatigue from low-load RT + BFR in PwMS. Thus, low-load RT + BFR may be a valuable modality to improve functional outcomes among PwMS in situations where heavy-load RT is intolerable.
