Clinical Corner: Using BFR in the Mid to Late Stages of ACL Rehabilitation

This 1-hr webinar will explore using Blood Flow Restriction Training as a rehab intervention and performance tool for the ACL reconstructed athlete.  BFR taps into the body’s natural systems of stress and recovery; utilizing the same concepts as that of traditional exercise alone.  We will demonstrate how to incorporate this concept into the mid and late stages of ACL Rehab.

• Demonstrate an understanding of the physiology of muscle hypertrophy and strength.
• Understand the scientific evidence for using Blood Flow Restriction training for muscle strengthening in the rehabilitation of Post Operative ACL Injuries.
• Understand the mechanisms of Blood Flow Restriction training specific to muscle strength and collagen synthesis.
• Understand how to develop an individualized, comprehensive, rehabilitative plan for post operative ACL patients that includes Blood Flow Restriction Training.
