#7133 Blood Flow Restriction …applications for musculoskeletal conditions

Motivations, Inc.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
1. Discuss current evidence underpinning the use of blood flow restriction (BFR) training in management of post-operative, geriatric, cardiac, orthopedic, and healthy populations.
2. Describe indications, precautions, and contraindications (relative and absolute) of BFR in the rehabilitation setting for musculoskeletal conditions.
3. Learn how to effectively determine populations who may benefit from BFR training as well as effectively treat these populations using the desired type of BFR equipment.
4. Learn the difference between the available BFR equipment to determine the most efficient and cost-effective option for an individual clinic or practitioner.
5. Understand the laws and regulations associated with BFR training and how these regulations play a role in utilization of these techniques in a clinical setting.

Description

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training has been shown to result in hypertrophy, strength gains, and functional improvements while utilizing low-load high repetitions to encourage safety, minimize over-training, and minimize inflammation of affected areas. This occurs by allowing arterial flow to the desired muscle while restricting venous return, selectively manipulating the physiology of the muscle during the training session. This is extremely beneficial for patients who are in their peak training cycle, injured, or recovering from surgery with musculoskeletal conditions including post-operative, geriatric, cardiac, and healthy populations. It is also beneficial for older adults who are attempting to improve strength, endurance, and independence while minimizing the risk associated with high-load interventions. (Intermediate Level)
