This study is looking at how well Blood Flow Restriction Therapy helps people with lower limb extensor injuries, such as tears in the quadriceps or patella tendons, or patella fractures. You could be eligible if you are between 18 and 65 years old, generally healthy (ASA class I-II), and plan to have physical therapy. Participants will receive 6 weeks of physical therapy, either with a pressure cuff that restricts blood flow or a cuff with less pressure (placebo). Researchers will measure the strength in both your legs at the beginning and after 6 weeks to see if the therapy helps improve strength. The study aims to enroll 128 people, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 128 participants. It compares two groups: one receiving physical therapy with a pressure cuff, and another receiving physical therapy with a placebo pressure cuff.

What's involved

You would participate in 6 weeks of physical therapy. Your leg strength will be measured at the start of the study and again after 6 weeks.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your leg strength will be measured at the start of the study and at the end of the 6-week physical therapy period.
