2. What are some common characteristics and
deficits that we see with our patients in the
clinic besides a presentation of pain?
3.
4. Adjunct to training and rehabilitation that
utilizes a piece of equipment to partially
occlude arterial inflow and completely restrict
venous outflow of blood in order to alter
metabolic demands and endocrine response
to improve strength and hypertrophy
5. ACSM and NSCA Guidelines:
Strength
▪ Ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert a maximal
external force
▪ Load: 60-70% 1RM for novice to intermediate; 80-100%
for advanced
▪ Volume: 1-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions for novice to
intermediate; 2-6 sets of 1-8 repetitions for advanced
▪ Rest period: 2-3 min for higher intense exercises that use
heavier loads; 1-2 minutes between the lower intense
exercises with light loads
6.
7. Volume – 4 sets of an exercise
2 times/day produces greatest benefit
Daily for two weeks vs. 2-3 times/week
Done at end of a workout
30 - - 15 - - 15 - - 15 - - 15
Intensity
30% of 1RM (maximal work capacity)
Rest
30 – 45 second rest
Rhythm
Varying tempo to promote more difficulty

11. Switch from recruitment of aerobic muscle
fibers to fast-twitch anaerobic muscle fibers
due to the ischemic condition
The isolated region undergoes a physiologic
change to promote lactate and hydrogen ion
production, while minimizing pH metabolite
production
12. Increase in lactate promotes large amount of
increase in growth hormone
Growth hormone collagen synthesis
Low pH levels sympathetic nn inc in
growth hormone production in anterior
pituitary
Increase in IGF-1
Decrease in myostatin
13.
14. Lack of oxygenation causes stimulation of
satellite cells which travels to the localized
area to help repair
Increased venous compliance promoting
increased post-exercise blood flow
Shown to help decrease blood pressure in
medicated hypertensive patients via
hypotensive response
Decreased stroke volume, SBP, DBP
IncreasedVO2
15. Pooling of blood from occlusion can lead to
cellular uptake of H20 and metabolites (IFG-1,
lactate, acidic environment, GH)
Produces an extreme anabolic environment
The swelling of cells leads to prolonged
response to the metabolites even after the
occlusion is ceased
Effects can take place up to 13 hours afterwards

Strength
Strength helps prevent future injury
Rehab quicker from current injury
Engage in activities without compensation
Allow for return to ADLs and occupation demands
Improve confidence and self esteem
Tourniquet/occlusion device/blood pressure cuff.
In a clinic, we should use FDA approved device that can be purchased which has dial readings to monitor pressure, this is placed on proximal limb to where the target exercise will be stressing specific injured muscle fibers
Also in rehab we want to improve power as this is much more functional, and research has shown that improving strength with blocked practice can lead to improvements in power
we have to use relatively intense weight and external loads in order to promote improvements in strength, endurance, and hypertrophy.
How do we find a 1RM for an individual in the clinic? Well we utilize light weight and perform maximal repetitions, this can then be used to calculate the 1RM and we then percentize that to formulate the training program
End of workout - Potential for increased tissue recovery secondary to increased muscle protein synthesis without additional muscle damage
More difficult if there is longer eccentric contraction, each position should be no longer than 5 seconds as this exercise should be completed in 5-8 minutes maximum
Type 1 fibers usually recrutied first in light loads and resistanc exercise, but the restriction of blood causes the type 1 to be exhaused and fatigued then leading to the quicker recruitment of type II fibers which are utilized and broken down to begin the reparative stage of healing and growing stronger
Fast twitch are phsiologically known to be able to increase in size due to the synthesis of cells rather than the enlargement of a single cell or myofibril
Lactate acid is accumulated from the effect of minimal oxygenation, thus relying on the cori cycle for energy production and using cellular glucose for energy, thus giving off the byproduct of lactate which pools in the same area as the venous outflow is reduced and cannot return to the kidney
Growth hormone has no effect on protein synthesis
IGF-1 directly related to large increases in mm protein synthesis
Myostatin inhibits mm growth and differentiation
The extremely therapeutic effects come from the combination of increased GH which strengthens and improves the quality of the tendons and ligaments, while the IGF promotes cell proliferation and protein synthesis, and the decrease in myostatic helps to provide an environment that can grow and differentiate without being inhibited and altered at the cellular level (similar effect that cortisol has)
We don’t even have mm protein breakdown, so the effect of DOMS may be minimal, however some research displays significant DOMS, so it should be judged based on the patients history and sedentary lifestyle, educate about DOMS
Satelitte cells normally stim when there is mm damage, so this effect, like GH promotes a healthy environment while increasing strength
Caution should be taken with individuals not stable with BP and having previous arrhythmias or MI
Increase in HR and BP during the exercise, so be weary and careful during intrasets and during the actual lifting, monitor perceieved rate of exertion and dizziness and fatigue
VO2 increased with walking
Anti-catabolic environment, so this causes increased healing, size, strength of the musculotendinous junction and ligaments in the area
Compression bands – voodoo floss, very cheap
4-5/10 for UE, 6-7/10 for LE
poor reliability when doing multiple workouts of the same occlusion level
BFR bands
level of occlusion cant be reliably reproduced and these are commonly very thin so the pressure of the band is put through smaller area and can compress nn easier (nn paralysis)
if do choose these need thick so 1/3 of the extremity length
Occlusion cuff
125$
wide enough
can measure level of occlusion, leading to reliability and standardization
Delphi System
gold standard from owensrecoveryscience
has doppler ultrasound to alow for accurate measurement of blood flow into extremities
safety feasures to rapidly shut off if needed, has automatic times
only FDA approved devise so we are legally safe using this
Pressure of 40-50% arterial occlusion actually increased muscle activation
Delphi – 50% occlusion UE and 80% LE for complete venous occulsion and 70-80% arterial
Has been shown that it actually prevents blood clots and helps to decrease swelling due to the activation of antithrombin and other anti-coagualation factors
Hypertensino has been shown in some studies to have a positive effect as there is a hypotension effect after removal of the device
Cardiac disease due to the
BFRT during bed rest BFRT plus low workload walking BFRT plus low load resistance exercise BFRT plus high load resistance exercise
