Blood Flow Restriction Therapy in Achilles Injury (NCT04104126)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

It is a safe and effective method of improving strength in healthy and active individuals, recovering from orthopedic pathologies and procedures. This prospective, randomized study will look at the implications this form of treatment has on the rehabilitation of Achilles injuries.
