Abstract:
This article explores the integration of blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise into the rehabilitation continuum following Achilles tendon repair. In this article, we propose specific time points for BFR use, dosage, and target tissues, highlighting its safety profile and demonstrating how it might enhance recovery via the maintenance of preinjury/preoperative muscle quality and quantity.
