Background. Blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT) is a technique used by physical therapists that requires the application of a band or cuff around the desired limb to restrict blood flow to the target muscles during exercise. BFRT has gained popularity as a rehabilitation technique for improving muscle strength and hypertrophy; however, the effectiveness of BFRT as compared to conventional physical therapy when considering the time for athletes to return to sport remains uncertain. The purpose of this doctoral capstone was to conduct a systematic review (SR) to evaluate the available evidence on the effects of BFRT on return to sport in the athlete population, and, in addition, a critically appraised topic (CAT) was conducted to evaluate the effects of BFRT on muscle strength compared to conventional physical therapy for the athlete population. Methods. Four independent reviewers conducted a comprehensive literature search using five electronic databases including PubMed, SportDiscus, Medline, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library, from January 2023 to May 2023 to complete the SR, and using the same databases from during March 2023 to May 2023 for the CAT. Both the CAT and the SR were limited to studies that were published in the English language with full text available, published from 2013 to 2023, conducted on human subjects, and included participants who are part of an athlete population. Studies were included if they investigated the effects of BFRT compared to conventional physical therapy methods. To address the risk of bias, independent ratings were conducted using the PEDro and NIH-NHLBI tools for the SR and the CAT. Results. A total of 15 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this paper. The results of the CAT show that BFRT is effective in improving muscle strength and with similar or even greater effects than conventional physical therapy; however, the SR shows that there is lacking data to support the original hypothesis that BFRT can reduce the time for athletes to return to sport. Conclusion. This paper provides evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of BFRT for improving muscle strength in athlete populations. However, the optimal protocol for BFRT is not the common practice adhered to by most physical therapists who utilize BFRT, and therefore more research is needed to show that these optimal protocols have superior effectiveness compared to conventional physical therapy with more definitive data.
