Conditions
Interventions
low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction
"Low-Intensity" BFR Means (for Quads) It involves resistance 20-30% 1RM combined with partial arterial + full venous restriction using a cuff placed on the proximal thigh.
High intensity resistance training
High-intensity quadriceps training in stroke patients focuses on using 60-80% of 1RM to improve strength, motor unit recruitment, and functional mobility. Exercises such as loaded sit-to-stand, leg press, and step-ups are commonly used to target the quadriceps safely. Training intensity is guided by a perceived exertion of 7-9/10 while maintaining proper supervision to prevent falls. This approach enhances knee stability, gait efficiency, and overall functional independence.
