Cross-education and blood flow restriction training

Cross-education (training of the non-surgical leg) will be given to the participants in addition to the standard rehabilitation program after surgery. This training will be applied with isokinetic system that can be used safely in the rehabilitation field. During this training, a cuff will be worn from the upper part of the thigh muscles, as in the blood pressure devices, which will slow down the blood flow in the leg. The participant will be cross-educated with the cuff inflated to a safe pressure range that will not cause discomfort. Participants will be included in the training for a total of 16 sessions, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Each session, cross-education will be applied as 3 sets of 12 repetitions. Pain, muscle strength, muscle thickness, knee functions will be evaluated before and after the training.
