About this listen

Rotator cuff (RC) tears are among the most common causes of shoulder dysfunction in sports medicine. Muscle atrophy and degeneration are important risk factors for RC tendon retearing and suboptimal recovery of shoulder function after tendon repair. Although blood flow restriction (BFR) can stimulate muscle regeneration after lower extremity trauma and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, the mechanisms that underlie BFR remain unknown, and its application to RC tears has not yet been explored. In conclusion, BFR significantly improves muscle quality and shoulder function after RC injury. These effects occur alongside increased mitochondrial transfer from FAPs to myocytes.
