Treatments
Active_comparator: 20mmHg pressure Blood Flow Restriction
The patients in the control group are wearing a blood-flow-restriction cuff proximal to the elbow with an applied pressure of just 20mmHg. Studies have shown that this amount of pressure has no impact. The control group remains blind using the cuff with low pressure. The therapy protocol is exactly the same as in the Interventional group.
Experimental: 50% of Mean arterial blood pressure Blood Flow Restriction
The patients in the intervention group are wearing a blood-flow-restriction cuff proximal to the elbow with an applied pressure of 50% of the mean arterial blood pressure. The therapy protocol is exactly the same as in the control group.
