In this episode Johnny and the fellas discuss 4 papers where BFR did not work! What?!? How can that be???

Well...gotta listen to find out!

We begin by discussing briefly how hard research in medicine is...
Here's a reference:
Howick, J., Koletsi, D., Ioannidis, J. P. A., Madigan, C., Pandis, N., Loef, M., Walach, H., Sauer, S., Kleijnen, J., Seehra, J., Johnson, T., & Schmidt, S. (2022). Most healthcare interventions tested in Cochrane Reviews are not effective according to high quality evidence: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 148, 160–169.

And here's a podcast discussing the paper: 
https://ptinquest.com/episode-250-most-healthcare-interventions-lack-high-quality-evidence/

Here's the paper Zac describes:
Tramer, J. S., Khalil, L. S., Jildeh, T. R., Abbas, M. J., McGee, A., Lau, M. J., Moutzouros, V., & Okoroha, K. R. (2022). Blood Flow Restriction Therapy For Two Weeks Prior to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Did Not Impact Quadriceps Strength Compared to Standard Therapy. Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery: Official Publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arthro.2022.06.027

Here's the paper Kyle describes:
Iversen, E., Røstad, V., & Larmo, A. (2016). Intermittent blood flow restriction does not reduce atrophy following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Journal of Sport and Health Science, 5(1), 115–118.

Here's the paper Johnny describes:
Curran, M. T., Bedi, A., Mendias, C. L., Wojtys, E. M., Kujawa, M. V., & Palmieri-Smith, R. M. (2020). Blood Flow Restriction Training Applied With High-Intensity Exercise Does Not Improve Quadriceps Muscle Function After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial. The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 48(4), 825–837.

And here's the paper Ben describes:
Brumitt, J., Hutchison, M. K., Kang, D., Klemmer, Z., Stroud, M., Cheng, E., Cayanan, N. P., & Shishido, S. (2020). Blood Flow Restriction Training for the Rotator Cuff: A Randomized Controlled Trial. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 1–6.

48 When BFR Doesn't Work...

Memorial Day Class Mr. Stroud remembers the Marines killed in Viettnam he served with by reading a few poems he wrote about them in 1989 and telling their story.

Memorial Day

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…

Trick or Treat

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.
