Hockey slideboard and blood flow restriction for ACL rehab
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a hockey slideboard with blood flow restriction (a special band that limits blood flow during exercise) helps recovery after ACL surgery. It may improve muscle strength and function faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had ACL surgery on one knee using a graft from your own patellar tendon or hamstring.
- Your ACL surgery may have included treatment for a meniscus tear (cleaning or simple stitching).
- You are at least 6 months post-surgery and have completed early rehab.
- You are willing to do hockey slideboard training 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
- You have no other serious knee injuries or conditions that limit exercise.

This trial looks at whether a special exercise method that changes blood flow during physical therapy (called BFRT) can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction in teens. It may help strength and rehab progress, but you would need to meet several surgery and safety requirements and attend many PT visits.
This trial studies a new way to reconstruct a torn ACL using your own bone marrow cells and a special internal brace to help you return to sports. It's for young athletes who haven't had ACL surgery before.
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
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 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.
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.
