Interventions

  • Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) — PROCEDURE
    Participants will be performing low-resistance exercise with (BFRT). Intervention will start at least seven days after initial evaluation, so it does not influence measures of real-time physical activity. We will use a log to register exercise completion and to record bilateral knee pain before, during and after each intervention session

Study Details

The aim is to demonstrate that preoperative exercises (pre-habilitation) using blood-flow restriction training (BFRT) is safe, well tolerated, improves muscle function, decreases functional limitation, and increases physical activity in older adults awaiting total knee replacement (TKR).
