Summary

This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy to standard physical therapy helps people regain strength and muscle mass after wrist fracture surgery. About 70 adults who had surgery for a broken wrist will either get standard rehab or standard rehab plus BFR. The goal is to see if BFR can reduce muscle loss and speed up recovery.
