A Study to Compare Two Rehabilitation Protocols for Knee Osteoarthritis

Blood flow restriction training is administered via straps applied to the proximal limb with the possibility to adjust the applied occlusion pressure in order to prevent venous return leaving the arterial flow partially free. The consequent blood pooling causes a reduction in tissue saturation with oxidative stress and an increased growth factors secretion. The intervention will be applied while walking/running on the anti-gravity treadmill.
