PNF and BFR Affect on Pain, ROM & Functional Outcome in Post-op ACL

Pakistan48 participantsStarted 2024-02-11

Plain-language summary

A randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of Hold Relax Technique (HRT) with and without Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) on pain, range of motion (ROM), and functional disability in patients with post-operative ACL rehabilitation. This study includes all types of genders with age limit is 25-45 years. But the aim is to infer the answers to the following questions; Does HRT has better effects than HRT with BFR? How much effect should be noted ? The research will show that if both HRT and HRT with BFR groups had significant pain reduction, the HRT with BFR group demonstrated greater ROM improvement and significant enhancement in functional ability compared to the HRT and control groups.
