CHPS RESEARCH STUDIES
Predicting Total Arterial Occlusion Pressure for BFR Exercise
Blood flow restriction is used along with exercise to help build strength with lighter exercise loads. Typically, ultrasound devices are used to find total occlusion pressure which is the percentage at which blood flow is completely blocked off in the artery with the least amount of pressure. These devices can be expensive and not readily available. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine which factors influence total arterial occlusion pressure for the upper and lower body.
