About this trial

The aim of the present pilot study is to investigate the feasibility of an exercise pressure response approach for assessing physiological strain during BFR training in a clinically supervised setting. Patients undergoing rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will be included. The results are intended to contribute to an improved evaluation of load management during BFR training.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers
