Interventions

  • Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitative Therapy — BEHAVIORAL
    BFR cuffs placed at the proximal thigh, just inferior to the greater trochanter. Inflation time not to exceed 20 minutes. One BFR session per treatment. BFR exercise dosage: 4 sets of the following repetitions 30, 15, 15, 15, 30 second rest between sets, 1 min rest between exercises. Progress exercise if pain \<2/10 on VAS and RPE \<5 on 0-10 scale. (Heerey et al), and no break down in form.
  • Sham BFR Rehabilitative Therapy — BEHAVIORAL
    The schedule, type of exercises, repetition ranges, and other physical therapy interventions will be the same as the BFR experimental group - however a non-occlusive pressure will be applied with the cuff in the control group.

Study Details

This study will be a prospective randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS and/or labral pathology. All patients who sign the consent form will be enrolled in the study and randomized to one of the two treatment arms. Follow-up will take place at 1-month, 3-months, 6-months, and 1-year.

Arms

  • Placebo Comparator: Control Group
    The control group will receive sham BFR, in which a non-occlusive pressure is applied with the cuff. The exercises performed will be identical to the BFR group.
  • Experimental: BFR Postoperative Rehabilitation
    The experimental group will receive BFR postoperative rehabilitation, which will involve performing a series of blood flow restriction exercises identical to the control group.
