Applicability of Tissue Flossing for Blood Flow Restriction in the Upper Limb: Reliability and Performance Analysis
Sponsor: Paulista University
Summary
Blood flow restriction (BFR) is a widely studied technique that combines low-intensity exercise with vascular occlusion, resulting in muscular benefits. However, its application is challenging due to methodological variations and equipment costs. Tissue Flossing (TF) appears as an affordable alternative, but lacks solid scientific evidence.

Tissue Flossing
Tissue Flossing ia a elastic band that when applied exerts an external pressure above or below a muscle or joint of the extremities.
Blood Flow Restriction Cuff
Inflatable device that exerts an external pressure above a muscle or joint of the extremities.
