Overview
Brief Summary
To compare the effects of low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) versus traditional resistance training on lower limb isokinetic torque and dynamic balance in ischemic stroke survivors.
Detailed Description
Ischemic stroke commonly results in reduced lower extremity muscle torque and impaired balance, affecting mobility and fall risk.
Traditional resistance training improves muscle function but may not be suitable for all patients due to the need for high mechanical loads.
Low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) has emerged as an alternative that enhances muscular adaptation at lower loads. However, limited data exists on its effect on isokinetic torque and functional balance in stroke patients. This study aims to fill this gap using objective isokinetic measurements and validated balance scales.
