PBFR  paired  with  light  intensity  resistance  training  (LIRT)  was  administered  4  weeks postoperative for 9-weeks, 2 times per week. Girth measurements at 10cm and 15cm above the knee joint were taken 1, 4, and 12 weeks postoperative for CON and R-groups. The control group participated in traditional physical therapy modalities that did not include BFR. <strong>Results:<\/strong> The study found that PBFR training is 87.5% likely beneficial at increasing quadriceps girth at 10cm above the knee joint, and 92.8% likely  beneficial  at  increasing  quadriceps  girth  at  15cm  above  the  knee  joint. <strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> This  study demonstrates that PBFR+LIRT can be an effective modality for increasing quadriceps girth, when used in conjunction with a rehabilitation program following a TKA.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephanie R.
