A comparison of blood flow restriction devices to assess limb occlusion pressure in supine and standing positions
None of the devices showed consistent LOP measurements across both postures, indicating significant variability depending on device type and body position. These findings underscore the need for posture-specific calibration when using BFR devices and caution against assuming device interchangeability.
