Abstract

Objectives: To describe the current status and develop a rehabilitation protocol for the quadriceps muscle using blood flow restriction resistance training (BFRRT) in patients after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 32 healthcare staff at the Sports Medicine Unit, Ho Chi Minh City Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Hospital from February 2022 to October 2023. Results: 100% of healthcare professionals agreed that physical therapy is necessary for post-operative rehabilitation, and more than 78% agreed to implement the BFRRT method. A detailed rehabilitation protocol for the quadriceps muscle using BFRRT was developed, from explaining the principles to monitoring the patient's condition, emphasizing safety and measures to handle complications such as deep vein thrombosis or rhabdomyolysis. Conclusion: The BFRRT method after ACL reconstruction surgery is highly agreed upon and can be implemented, however, further research is needed to evaluate its effectiveness.
