Effect of Resisted Blood Flow Restriction
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of adding resisted blood flow restriction (BFR) training to a standard exercise program in adults aged 50-60 with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does adding BFR training significantly increase muscle strength compared to standard exercise alone? Does the BFR intervention lead to measurable improvements in balance and physical function? Researchers will compare a group performing standard therapeutic exercise combined with BFR to a control group performing the same exercise program without BFR to see if the BFR group achieves superior gains in strength and functional independence. Participants will: Complete a 12-week supervised exercise program in an outpatient setting. Wear compression cuffs on their limbs during low-intensity resistance exercises (for the BFR group). Undergo assessments for muscle strength (via handheld dynamometry), balance, and functional mobility before and after the intervention.

BFR training
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a form of low-intensity exercise performed with external compression-usually cuffs or elastic bands-applied to the limbs.
