Summary

This study compares two types of physical therapy for people with a broken shinbone. One group will do low-weight exercises while wearing a blood flow restriction cuff on their leg. The other group will do the same exercises without the cuff. Researchers will measure muscle strength, muscle size, bone healing, and how well people return to daily activities.
