Comparison of Methods in Post Operative Hip Arthroscopy Rehabilitation
University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
The investigators plan to investigate the efficacy of blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy in post operative rehabilitation following hip arthroscopy. BFR has shown to be great at helping the recovery process. SAGA is a well-known smart training technology company, and the investigators aim to partner with SAGA to use the BFR cuffs as the intervention method. The BFR cuff will be added to the current SOC for hip scope PT for the intervention group.
Description
Study Design and Research Methods i. Timeline: Treatment Protocol duration 12 weeks per participant beginning post operative day 1 following hip arthroscopy. PRO's will be collected out to 2 years post-surgery and standard rehabilitation will follow the 12-week intervention period for both the control and experimental group. Study will be a 2-year timeline in total. ii. Procedures: Patients will be randomized to control group, who will undergo Steadman Hawkins Clinic Denver's standard hip arthroscopy rehab protocol (see appendix) or to the intervention group, who will undergo standard rehab p…
