Summary

This study tests whether using a blood flow restriction (BFR) cuff during physical therapy helps people recover better after ankle ligament reconstruction surgery. About 105 adults will be split into two groups: one gets standard therapy, the other adds BFR. Researchers will measure muscle loss, ankle function, pain, and heart health over at least 6 weeks.
