Abstract

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is commonly used to induce muscle hypertrophy and strength and is gaining popularity as a modality for treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and postoperative rehabilitation. This article reviews the current literature on BFR as a rehabilitative tool, identifies gaps in the literature, and reports the authors experience using BFR in the postoperative environment.
