Blood-flow restriction rehab after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma 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 a special training method called blood flow restriction (BFR) to help people recover strength after ACL reconstruction surgery. It uses a cuff to limit blood flow while doing light exercises, which may help you regain knee function 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 physical therapy helps people recover better after ACL reconstruction surgery. Blood flow restriction involves using a cuff to partially limit blood flow during exercise, which may help build strength with lighter weights.
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.
