A qualitative study of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction in people with advanced multiple sclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: Participants found BFR combined with low-load resistance training to be satisfactory (mixed initial expectations), acceptable (comfortable/easy), and impactful (translating to life improvements). Areas for program refinement were identified that should be targeted in future iterations.PMID:38616662 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2341993 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Factors affecting upper limb functional recovery after mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction: a prospective study
CONCLUSION: Postoperative shoulder function was comparable between the two IBR approaches. However, different factors were associated with improved upper limb disability between ABR and IMBR. Acute rehabilitation focused on resolving muscle tightness and pain may help mitigate upper limb disabilities following IBR.Trial registration number: KCT 0006501.PMID:38616681 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2343043 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)
