Blood Flow Restriction Therapy Stimulates Intercellular Mitochondria Transfer and Improves Muscle Regeneration and Shoulder Function in a Murine Rotator Cuff Injury Model
Understanding the mechanism of BFR by which BFR enhances muscle regeneration could pave the way for its use as a novel rehabilitation strategy to improve recovery in patients with RC injuries and other muscle-related conditions.
