Walking with blood flow restriction on lower limb muscles post-ACL reconstruction: A within-subject trial
A progressive walking program with BFR was associated with increases in lower limb strength and modest MT changes in individuals post-ACL reconstruction. These findings suggest that this intervention may represent a safe and potentially efficient adjunct to post-ACL rehabilitation.
