Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Traditional physical therapy resisted training for people with MS have been shown to be beneficial; however, their usefulness has been limited by fatigue. The effect of blood flow restriction on strength and other measures of physical function was demonstrated in healthy populations and those with chronic disease. This study may add missing information to the existing literature and suggests directions for research on the effectiveness of BFR training on individuals with relapsing and remitting MS.
