Description
Hediyeh Hamedi, Mohammad Amin Gholipour, and Tahere Seyedhoseinpoor pooled, in a 2025 review, trials of blood flow restriction training for shoulder strength. The method pairs light exercise with a cuff that partly blocks blood flow, building strength without heavy loads. Shoulder gains matter for rehab after injury and surgery.
Eight databases were searched without language limits. Five trials with 158 people met the bar. Pooled results showed a large gain in forward raise strength and a fair gain in inward rotation strength against controls. Side raise and outward rotation gains did not reach firm levels. The proof grade ran low to very low, so the authors urge more and better trials before clinics lean on the method.
