In episode 65 Johnny makes his triumphant return after defeating Montezuma’s revenge to help the guys breakdown a couple recent publications on BFR and rehab after ACLr. Zac takes the lead on the first of the papers that had a bit of a clickbait title per the fellas assessment. The paper titled, “‘Real world’ clinical implementation of blood flow restriction therapy does not increase quadriceps strength after quadriceps tendon autograft ACL reconstruction” has a number of demographic problems the fellas discuss, and ultimately evaluated one of the least relevant outcome measures by their estimation. Kyle finishes up the breakdown with some alternate and far more accurate title suggestions for the paper.

The second paper they discuss was a recent review paper on ACL and BFR. Ben takes the lead breaking down this paper where the fellas have a tough time sorting why some studies were excluded and why at least one was included. Long story short the evidence on BFR use in ACLr rehab is still very limited and a review focusing on most all aspects of that process should be read with a healthy level of skepticism.

In this episode Johnny and the guys discuss the recent paper published by Center showing similar adaptations in tendon with heavy load training and low-load BFR training on Achilles tendon size and stiffness. 

They also tease a number of things in the works, like a soon to be published monograph they wrote along with Luke Hughes, PhD and Stephen Patterson, PhD for the APTA (that thing is 70 pages long!!), Johnny’s upcoming talk at CSM on BFR and Heart Failure with Larry Cahalin, PhD, PT, the incorporation of BFR into PT school curricula, and a PT textbook they’ll be contributing to amongst many other course and conferences coming up in the first quarter.

But the big one, the super cool thing…

The Owens Recovery Science Podcast is your source for what's new and established in the blood flow restriction literature. Blood flow restriction training or BFR is an exercise technique used by many rehab and performance practitioners to increase muscle size, strength, and endurance through the use of lighter weights and lower intensities than originally thought necessary. Johnny Owens, PT and his team have trained more than 15,000 clinicians on how to integrate BFR into rehab and performance settings. In their podcast they keep you to date on the latest developments in the literature and innovation within the field.
