About this study

Official title: Comparing the Effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction Training and Traditional Resistance Training in Post-surgery Rehabilitation of Latarjet Procedure

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training on post-surgery rehabilitation following the Latarjet procedure in athletes aged 18-35.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does BFR training improve scapular belt muscle strength post-surgery? Does BFR training enhance shoulder function during rehabilitation?

Researchers will compare three groups:

BFR Group with 50% AOP [arterial occlusion pressure] compression BFR Placebo Group with 10% AOP compression Control Group

Participants will:

Perform the same four strengthening exercises twice a week Complete 16 semi-autonomous strength training sessions over 8 weeks Undergo isokinetic and isometric strength tests, shoulder mobility assessments, and complete self-assessment questionnaires.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood flow restriction (50% AOP compression) in the rehabilitation phase after Latarjet surgery for chronic shoulder instabilityDevice

    Participants undergoing shoulder instability surgery (Latarjet procedure) by a single surgeon will receive standard physiotherapy (2 sessions per week) before being randomized into 3 groups at their 6th postoperative week check-up:

    Group 1) BFR Group with 50% AOP compression

    Group 1 will perform a 30-minute strengthening session twice weekly during postoperative weeks 7 to 14. They will do 4 exercises, completing 4 sets with 30-second rest intervals and 1 minute between exercises, following 30-15-15-15 at 40% 1RM (repetition maximum)

    Exercise :

    External rotation with pulley/band Internal rotation with pulley/band Frontal elevation with hyperpronation Diagonal abduction-external rotation with pulley/band

    BFR training will use the MadUp© system, placing the band proximally on the operated arm, with a central unit continuously monitoring and calibrating arm pressure.

  • Blood flow restriction (10% AOP compression) in the rehabilitation phase after Latarjet surgery for chronic shoulder instabilityDevice

    Participants undergoing shoulder instability surgery (Latarjet procedure) by a single surgeon will receive standard physiotherapy (2 sessions per week) before being randomized into 3 groups at their 6th postoperative week check-up:

    Group 2) BFR Group with 10% AOP compression

    Group 2 will perform a 30-minute strengthening session twice weekly during postoperative weeks 7 to 14. They will do 4 exercises, completing 4 sets with 30-second rest intervals and 1 minute between exercises, following 15-15-15-15 at 70% 1RM

    Exercise :

    External rotation with pulley/band Internal rotation with pulley/band Frontal elevation with hyperpronation Diagonal abduction-external rotation with pulley/band

    BFR training will use the MadUp© system, placing the band proximally on the operated arm, with a central unit continuously monitoring and calibrating arm pressure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood flow restriction (50% AOP compression) in the rehabilitation phase after Latarjet surgery for chronic shoulder instability and Blood flow restriction (10% AOP compression) in the rehabilitation phase after Latarjet surgery for chronic shoulder instability in people with Shoulder Dislocation, run by Ensemble Hospitalier de la Côte.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bauer Stefan, MD (0787105993 ext. +41, stefan.bauer@ehc.vd.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Isokinetic strength (time frame: Preoperative and at 14 weeks postoperative). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 May 2024.
