研究概览
简要总结
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is a brief and partial restriction of venous outflow of an extremity during low load resistance exercises. It is a safe and effective method of improving strength in healthy and active individuals, recovering from orthopedic pathologies and procedures. This prospective, randomized study will look at the implications this form of treatment has on the rehabilitation of Achilles injuries.

研究组 & 干预措施
Standard of Care Physical Therapy
Patients with Achilles injury are prescribed PT for their treatment, therefore physical therapy is a standard of care treatment for patients with tendon pathology.
干预措施: Standard of Care Physical Therapy (Other)
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy
Blood flow restriction therapy is a blood pressure cuff placed around the desired limb with a handheld device that controls the pressure exerted by the cuff.
干预措施: Blood flow restriction (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
efficacy of blood flow restriction therapy on patients with Achilles injury by measure pre and post blood flow restriction therapy measured by muscle strength
时间窗: 12 Months
Measure in increase of strength in the affected leg measured by Biodex.
Measure of pain using Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: 12 Months
Respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of their pain. For pain intensity, the scale is most commonly anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 100 \[100-mm scale\])
