Blood Flow Restriction Exercises (BFR) an Effect on Strength Rehabilitation and Muscle Atrophy for Patients with Multiple Femur Fractures Aged 40-50 Years

Abstract

The present study examined the effect of rehabilitation exercises with BFR in improving muscle strength, thigh muscle hypertrophy, and knee joint flexibility for those with double fractures in the lower body. Methods: 6 volunteer subjects (average age 44 (40–50) years) were randomized into one group that trained in restriction of blood flow period eight weeks. Participants were familiar with all testing and exercise protocols before starting the study. Rehabilitation exercises with BFR were done before and after—form for each player to record the sequence measurements. Quadriceps circumference measurement (cm), the range of motion of the knee joint, and Quadriceps muscle strength measurement were performed on the participants. Independent samples t-test was used to compare the scores obtained from the measurements according to categorical variables. The significance level was determined as P 0.05. Results: Thigh circumference (cm) There was a significant increase in thigh circumference from before the experiment (41.17 cm) to after the investigation (45.33 cm) (p<0,001). There's a remarkable development in post-test measurements (13.97 kg), (p<0,000) compared to pre-test measurements (8.83 kg), indicating an improvement in quadriceps strength. Hamstring strength (kg) in the post-test measurement (10.17 kg) demonstrated a remarkable development compared to the pre-test measurement (7.5 kg) (p<0,003). The post-test measurement (24.5 degrees) showed significant development compared to the pre-test measurement (60.83 degrees) (p<0,000), suggesting an improvement in the range of motion of the flexed knee joint. In conclusion, it shows that blood flow restriction is a safe and effective treatment for people with multiple fractures.
