Blood Flow Restriction in Post-surgery Rehabilitation of Latarjet Procedure

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Shoulder Dislocation
Interventions
Device: Blood flow restriction (10% AOP compression) in the rehabilitation phase after Latarjet surgery for chronic shoulder instability
Device: Blood flow restriction (50% AOP compression) in the rehabilitation phase after Latarjet surgery for chronic shoulder instability
Registration Number
NCT06430567
Lead Sponsor
Ensemble Hospitalier de la Côte
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training on post-surgery rehabilitation following the Latarjet procedure in athletes aged 18-35.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does BFR training improve scapular belt muscle strength post-surgery? Does BFR training enhance shoulder function during rehabilitation?

Researchers will compare three groups:

BFR Group with 50% AOP \[arterial occlusion pressure\] compression BFR Placebo Group with 10% AOP compression Control Group

Participants will:

Perform the same four strengthening exercises twice a week Complete 16 semi-autonomous strength training sessions over 8 weeks Undergo isokinetic and isometric strength tests, shoulder mobility assessments, and complete self-assessment questionnaires.
