The Acute Effects of Blood Flow Restriction on Ankle Muscle Reaction Time and Proprioception in Healthy Individuals
Sponsor: Uludag University
Summary
his randomized controlled crossover study aims to investigate the acute effects of lower limb blood flow restriction (BFR) on ankle joint proprioception, postural control, and muscle activation in healthy adults. Each participant will complete test sessions under BFR (60% individualized arterial occlusion pressure) and control (20 mmHg sham) conditions. Outcome measures include joint position sense, kinesthesia, static and dynamic balance performance, and electromyographic (EMG) activity and reaction times of selected lower limb tibialis anterior and peroneus longus muscles.
