Скачать или смотреть Early Meniscus Repair Rehab Using BFR Restore Strength With Minimal Joint Stress

Early-phase rehab after a meniscus repair requires a careful balance. You need enough stimulus to preserve muscle and rebuild strength, but not so much joint stress that it compromises healing tissue.

In this video, we demonstrate how Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training can be used during the early stages of meniscus repair rehab to limit muscle atrophy and restore knee extensor strength while keeping joint loading low.

BFR allows patients to train at lighter loads while still achieving a meaningful strength stimulus. This makes it a valuable tool early in the rehab process, when traditional heavy loading is not appropriate but maintaining quadriceps strength is critical for long-term outcomes.

Key goals of this phase include:
• Minimizing quadriceps atrophy
• Restoring knee extensor strength
• Protecting the healing meniscus
• Preparing the knee for progressive loading later in rehab

When used appropriately and supervised by a licensed professional, BFR can help bridge the gap between protection and performance. It supports tissue healing while keeping the nervous system and muscles engaged.

This approach is part of how we integrate evidence-based rehab strategies with performance principles at APEX PWR, helping athletes and active individuals return to sport and training with confidence.
