Abstract
Abstract Aims: This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to verify the effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) on the strength, muscle mass and physical function of older individuals and compare to the exercises program with low and high load. Methods: The search was performed in the databases: Pubmed, Science Direct, Scielo, LILACS, and Google Scholar. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the PEDro Scale. Results: Eight studies were eligible. The strength improvement were from 2.9 to 35.6% (SMD: 0.68; CI: 0.05, 1.32; p < .05), the muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) increased from 3.1 to 8% (SMD 0.47; CI 0.11, 0.82; p < .01), and physical function from 12 to 28% (SMD: −0.15; CI −1.01, 0.70; p > .05). Conclusion: BFR training was effective for increasing strength, muscle mass and physical function in the older adults, presenting the advantage of less mechanical stress, and should be considered as an alternative when traditional training is contraindicated.
期刊介绍:
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
