Abstract:
Quadricep weakness is frequently observed in patients following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury or in those with knee osteoarthritis, often contributing to functional impairments and persistent symptoms. While high-intensity resistance training has been shown to effectively improve muscle strength, its application may be limited in certain populations due to pain or the risk of surgical complications. In recent years, blood flow restriction (BFR) training has emerged as a promising alternative. Growing evidence indicates that low-load BFR exercise can significantly improve muscle strength, induce hypertrophy, and enhance knee function, with outcomes comparable to those of high-intensity resistance training. When implemented using appropriate protocols, BFR training appears to be a safe and efficacious rehabilitation strategy for individuals with knee pathology.
