Efeitos do treinamento resistido de baixa carga com restrição parcial de fluxo sanguíneo em pacientes com osteoartrite de joelho: uma revisão narrativa. 2022. 26f.

Thus, low-load training with partial blood flow restriction (LLT+PBFR) has shown results similar to TRAC for strength gain and hypertrophy, being able to reduce joint stress, pain and kinesiophobia generated by TRAC, amplifying adherence of this population to treatment. Objective: To analyze the LLT+PBFR effects in patients with KOA. Methods: Two researchers were responsible for searching the studies in the following electronic databases: PubMed, Medline, PEDro and Google Scholar. The descriptors used were “Blood flow restriction” AND “Knee osteoarthritis”. Randomized clinical trials published until September 2022 that used samples composed of individuals with knee osteoarthritis and who used training with partial blood flow restriction as an intervention protocol were included. Results: Four eligible articles published between 2016 and 2022 were considered, gathering 127 participants diagnosed with KOA (men, n = 20; women, n = 107). The findings indicated that LLT+PBFR showed positive and similar effects in increasing quadriceps muscle strength, increasing muscle volume, improving pain and functionality compared to HLT, in addition to beneficial results for self-reported pain in the anterior region of the knee during the training. In one study, the LLT+PBFR was superior to the HLT for muscle strength gain. However, in one study, moderate-intensity resistance training (MIRT) was more effective in gaining strength in the knee extensors when compared to LLT+PBFR. Conclusion: The findings of the studies suggest that LLT+PBFR promotes less overload on the knee joint and increases strength and hypertrophy compared to HLT, promoting improvement in pain, physical function and quality of life, and may be an alternative treatment for patients with KOA.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Terapia de restrição de Fluxo Sanguíneo;Terapia por exercícioOsteoartrite de joelhoBlood Flow Restriction TherapyExercise TherapyKnee Osteoarthritis.bachelorThesis
