Rehabilitation Efficacy of Low-Load Blood Flow Restriction Training for Lateral Patellar Compression Syndrome

Rehabilitation Efficacy of Low-Load Blood Flow Restriction Training for Lateral Patellar Compression Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of low-load blood flow restriction training on the rehabilitation effect of patients after lateral patellar compression syndrome surgery, and to observe the differences between low-load blood flow restriction training combined with conventional rehabilitation training and conventional rehabilitation training. The main question it aims to answer is:

Can low-load blood flow restriction training improve the rehabilitation effect of patients after surgery for lateral patellar hypertension syndrome? Researchers compared conventional rehabilitation training with conventional rehabilitation training combined with low-load blood-limiting training to explore the effect of blood-limiting training combined with conventional rehabilitation training on the lower extremity function of patients after lateral patellar compression syndrome surgery, providing experimental and theoretical basis for formulating rehabilitation training programs.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Aged 30-60 years with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score ≥3;
2. Diagnosed with lateral patellar compression syndrome confirmed by MRI and clinical evaluation, having undergone arthroscopic lateral retinacular release surgery;
3. Presenting postoperative reduction in thigh circumference on the affected side, accompanied by quadriceps muscle atrophy and decreased muscle strength;
4. Minimum postoperative duration of ≥2 weeks, with signed informed consent and demonstrated ability to comply with the study protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with concomitant fractures or other ligament injuries (including those with prior ACL reconstruction);
2. Individuals presenting with severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis;
3. Those with medical histories of deep vein thrombosis, coagulation disorders, vascular diseases, or diabetes mellitus;
4. Subjects with active infections, malignancies, current pregnancy, or psychiatric disorders.
