Effect of blood flow restriction therapy in traumatic and non-traumatic ankle conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis (researchgate.net)

• BFR improves muscle strength and function in ankle conditions.
• Evidence from moderate-to-high quality studies but with heterogeneity.
• Individualized BFR parameters are recommended.

"This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy for ankle conditions. Findings support BFR as an adjunct to improve muscle strength and function, though evidence is limited by study heterogeneity. Clinicians should consider individual patient factors when applying BFR protocols."
