Comparison of Methods in Post Operative Hip Arthroscopy Rehabilitation
University of Colorado, Denver
120 participants
Apr 29, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The investigators plan to investigate the efficacy of blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy in post operative rehabilitation following hip arthroscopy. BFR has shown to be great at helping the recovery process. SAGA is a well-known smart training technology company, and the investigators aim to partner with SAGA to use the BFR cuffs as the intervention method. The BFR cuff will be added to the current SOC for hip scope PT for the intervention group.
