Blood flow training for people with disabilities
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff during arm exercises can help people with disabilities build muscle strength. It's designed to be safe and effective for those who can do upper body movements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how your body responds to a special exercise technique where blood flow is partly restricted while you work out. It may help people build muscle more efficiently with lighter weights.
This study tests how different settings of blood flow restriction (using a cuff to partially reduce blood flow) during exercise affect leg strength and function in older adults with age-related muscle weakness. It may help find the best way to improve mobility and independence.
This trial tests whether a type of strength training that partly uses blood flow restriction can help older women build leg strength on one side, which may also benefit the other leg. It's for women who are generally healthy and have not had recent leg injuries or surgeries.
This study tests whether using a special band during exercise, which limits blood flow, can improve heart health. It is for generally healthy people who want to try a new type of strength training.
This study tests if using a blood flow restriction band on your arm during exercise can improve grip strength more than exercise alone. It is for healthy adults aged 18 to 35 who want to see if this safe, supervised training can boost their hand and arm strength.
This trial tests whether doing resistance exercise with a blood pressure cuff to partially restrict blood flow can improve heart function in people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. It may help you get stronger and feel better during cardiac rehab.
