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.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 105 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Mar 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18-65 years. 2. Post ankle ligament reconstruction surgery (medial or lateral, with or without ankle scope). 3. Capability of paying for physical therapy or having insurance coverage for at least 6 weeks of therapy. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Major cardiac or connective tissue disorders (e.g., Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome). 2. Autoimmune disorders. 3. History of stroke or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). 4.

Pregnancy (current or planning to become pregnant in the next 4 months) 7. Malignancy (cancer). 8. Professional athletes. 9.
