- Original description
This study aims to compare the effects of low-load Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) resistance training with and without hip abductor strengthening in patients with knee osteoarthritis. It will evaluate the effectiveness of both treatment approaches in reducing knee pain, improving range of motion, increasing muscle strength, and enhancing functional ability. The study will determine which intervention provides better clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Read full original descriptionShow less
Effects of Low-Load Blood Flow Restriction Resistance With and Without Hip Abductor Strength Training on Pain, Range of Motion, Strength and Function in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis.
