About this trial

The investigators plan to investigate the efficacy of blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy in post operative rehabilitation following hip arthroscopy. BFR has shown to be great at helping the recovery process. SAGA is a well-known smart training technology company, and the investigators aim to partner with SAGA to use the BFR cuffs as the intervention method. The BFR cuff will be added to the current SOC for hip scope PT for the intervention group.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

patients with labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, loose bodies, ligamentum teres tears, and related intra-articular pathology to be treated with hip arthroscopy. Patients must also have access to a smartphone device in order to utilize the SAGA BFR application for use. The application is free to use.

Disqualifiers

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Pulmonary Embolism

Hemorrhagic/Thrombolytic Stroke

Clotting Disorders

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Hip extensor strength

1\. Strength of hip extensors via handheld dynamometry (HHD) and reported as a measure of limb symmetry index (LSI) comparing operative limb to non-operative limb. By 3 months post operatively, patients should be approaching 70% LSI in order to safely initiate impact activities such as jogging. Prior to discharge from therapy, patients should achieve at least 90% LSI per standard protocol.

Time frame
2 Years

Secondary outcomes

1

additional hip musculature strength

1\. Strength of hip flexors, abductors and adductors via handheld dynamometry (HHD) and reported as a measure of limb symmetry index (LSI) comparing operative limb to non-operative limb. By 3 months post operatively, patients should be approaching 70% LSI in order to safely initiate impact activities such as jogging. Prior to discharge from therapy, patients should achieve at least 90% LSI per standard protocol.

Time frame
2 Years
2

single leg squat test

2\. Performance on a Repeated Single Leg Squat test to 45 deg knee flexion over the course of 90 seconds reported as a measure of LSI. Prior to initiation of impact activities such as jogging (usually around 3 months), patient should be approaching 70% LSI per standard protocol and 90% by time of discharge.
