Background: Although blood flow restriction (BFR) is becoming increasingly popular in physical therapy and athletic training settings, little known about the effects of BFR combined with low-intensity exercise (LIX) on muscles proximal to site occlusion. Hypothesis/Purpose: Determine whether LIX applied distally shoulder brachial region arm (BFR-LIX) promotes greater increases lean mass, rotator cuff strength, endurance, acute muscle activation compared alone. We hypothesized that BFR-LIX...
OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes following retrograde intramedullary nailing vs locked plating of “extreme distal” periprosthetic femur fractures, defined as those which contact or extend distal to the anterior flange. METHODS Design: Retrospective review Setting: Eight academic level I trauma centers Patient Selection Criteria: adult patients with fractures at flange (OTA/AO 33B-C[VB1]) treated rIMNs LPs. Outcome Measures Comparisons : The primary outcome was...
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy has been observed to improve post-operative recovery in the limbs when combined with low intensity resistance exercise (LIX). Little data exists regarding use of BFR for proximal benefit upper (shoulders). PURPOSE: (1) Determine if rotator cuff (RC) exercises (BFR-Rx) promote greater increases strength, muscular endurance, and lean mass compared alone (NoBFR-Rx); (2) applied arm during acute LIX activation RC muscles. METHODS: Eighteen healthy adults...
