Evaluation of blood flow restriction combined with routine rehabilitation in incomplete thoracic and lumbar spinal cord injury after decompression: a retrospective study
BFR training combined with routine rehabilitation may enhance motor function, gait performance, and daily living abilities in SCI patients after decompression surgery without increasing adverse events. These findings support its clinical feasibility, but further prospective studies are warranted to confirm the results.
