Effect of Low Intensity Training Combined With Partial Restriction of Blood Flow in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Universidade Federal do Ceara
Summary
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative infection that presents clinical features such as pain and limited range of motion. A weakness of the quadriceps makes this joint more susceptible to wear and tear to the articular cartilage, especially in the medial compartment of the knee. As a result, it is necessary to promote an increase of at least 30% in quadriceps strength for a beneficial effect on pain and 40% in functional capacity. Therapeutic exercises are used to increase strength muscle, in addition to high intensity exercises, to decrease joint pain, low to moderate intensity resistance training has been included, with the new approach of using partial blood flow restriction.

Interventions
Low Intensity Training associated with Partial Blood Flow
16 treatment sessions in 8 weeks: warm-up, stretching of the lower limbs, strengthening of the quadriceps, hamstrings, sural triceps, abductors and adductors of the hip. The Partial blood flow restriction will be used during knee extension and squat exercises. During the exercises, a metronome will be used for the time under tension, 2 seconds for the eccentric and concentric phase.
