Low-Load Blood Flow Restriction Training With Patients Who Underwent a Total Knee Arthroplasty: a Feasibility Trial

This project aims to investigate the feasibility of a low load (LL) isokinetic knee flexor and extensor strength training (ST) protocol under blood flow restriction (BFR) conditions in early postoperative total knee arthroplasty patients. The intervention consists in testing an experimental strengthening protocol in the Leukerbad Clinic. 12 participants will be recruited and the intervention will last approximatively 3 weeks and will consist in 3 weekly ST. The collected data will then be analysed and interpreted to define if such an intervention is feasible or not.
