Blood-flow restriction rehab after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well your ACL graft (the repaired tissue) heals after ACL reconstruction when you use a specific rehab method called blood-flow restriction training. It may help your care team understand whether this rehab approach leads to better healing and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 64 years old
- You are planning primary ACL reconstruction using your own patellar tendon (BPTB) at Zuyderland Medical Center
- Your rehab will be done at Knie-Heup centrum Plus
- You do not have a history of blood clots in the veins (venous thromboembolism)
- You do not have sickle cell anemia
- You do not have severe uncontrolled blood pressure (severe hypertension) or any reason you cannot do faster rehab or an MRI

This trial tests if adding blood flow restriction (BFR) training to standard rehab can help people who had ACL surgery over 6 months ago. It may help you regain strength and get back to sports faster.
This study tests whether using a special blood flow restriction cuff after ACL surgery helps you recover faster and stronger. It is for people having ACL reconstruction using their own quadriceps tendon for the first time.
This trial tests a special type of strength training that uses a blood pressure cuff to limit blood flow during exercises. It aims to help people recover muscle strength and improve knee function after ACL surgery.
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction training to standard rehab helps your Achilles tendon and calf muscle heal better after surgery. You would do exercises with a special cuff that gently limits blood flow to your leg.
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction training to standard rehab improves recovery after ACL reconstruction. It may help you regain strength and function faster after surgery.
This trial studies whether a special exercise method that limits blood flow to the thigh (called blood flow restriction training) can improve quadriceps strength and function during recovery after arthroscopic ACL surgery. If you qualify, you would join a structured physical therapy program and follow the study’s rehab plan.
