Effect of blood flow restriction training in early postoperative rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction: a randomised controlled trial

The present study shows that a combination of BFR and low-load strength training does not provide additional clinical benefits to low-load training alone in the early postoperative phase, following ACL reconstruction in our study group. Further research is required to explore the potential efficacy of BFR in specific patient subpopulations, with different training loads or at later stages of rehabilitation.
