The Acute Effects of Blood Flow Restriction on Ankle Muscle Reaction Time and Proprioception in Healthy Individuals
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Blood Flow Restriction: Arm Description: Participants perform balance/proprioception tests under lower limb blood flow restriction at % 60 AOP.
Sham Blood Flow Restriction: Sham BFR Description: Participants perform the same tests with sham(20 mmHg) blood flow restriction
Study summary
his randomized controlled crossover study aims to investigate the acute effects of lower limb blood flow restriction (BFR) on ankle joint proprioception, postural control, and muscle activation in healthy adults. Each participant will complete test sessions under BFR (60% individualized arterial occlusion pressure) and control (20 mmHg sham) conditions. Outcome measures include joint position sense, kinesthesia, static and dynamic balance performance, and electromyographic (EMG) activity and reaction times of selected lower limb tibialis anterior and peroneus longus muscles.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in Ankle Joint Position Sense Error (degrees) — day 1 and day 2
Absolute error (degrees) between target and reproduced angles during passive and active joint position sense tests in inversion and plantar flexion, measured with an isokinetic dynamometer. - Static Balance Performance — day 3
Center of pressure path length (mm) in single-leg and tandem stance with eyes open/closed on force platform (HUR SmartBalance). - Change in Kinesthesia Threshold (degrees) — day 1 and day 2
Minimal angular displacement (degrees) at which movement is first perceived in inversion and plantarflexion. - Static balance performance — day 3
sway velocity (mm/s) in single-leg and tandem stance with eyes open/closed on force platform (HUR SmartBalance). - static balance performance — day 3
sway area (mm\^2) in single-leg and tandem stance with eyes open/closed on force platform (HUR SmartBalance).
