Blood Flow Restriction Training in Rehabilitation: A Narrative Review of Musculoskeletal and Neurological Applications, Mechanisms, and Safety
Background. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training combines low-load exercise with a proximal cuff that partially restricts arterial inflow and more substantially impedes venous outflow. Because it produces strength- and hypertrophy-related adaptations at loads too low to threaten healing tissue, BFR has become a promin...
