English Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of unilateral blood flow restriction walk training on gait spatiotemporal parameters.

Forty-five healthy subjects (males, age: 21.91 ± 1.9 year, mass: 73.3 ± 3.71 kg, height; 1.72± 0.06 m) participated in this study.

The Spatiotemporal gait parameters taken are: cadences, step length, step width, preferred walking speed (PWS), walk-run preferred transition speed (PTS), and walking speed reserve values (WSRv).

The measures gathered using kinetisense360ai motion analysis system software.

The study subjects distributed to three groups (condition A: with BFR and low intensity walking trails, condition B: without BFR and high intensity walking trails, and no condition: without BFR and low intensity walking trails) based on the study variables statistic homogeneity, each group attend two sessions every day for three weeks (total thirty-six sessions).

The finding of this study showed that there was an increase of most of the gait parameter of the BFR-W training group (condition A) and the high intensity group (condition B), compared to the non-condition group with favor to condition A (p<0.05).

Also, it showed that the combination of BFR-W training with low-intensity can induce similar gains of changes effecting gait parameters as the high intensity training.
