Summary

This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (BFR) to standard rehab helps people recover better after surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. About 82 adults who had surgery will be randomly assigned to 24 weeks of exercise therapy with or without BFR. Researchers will measure pain, strength, tendon healing, and quality of life over one year.
