ABSTRACT: Purpose: This paper summarizes the development of blood flow restriction training and its effect on the rehabilitation of knee joint function in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, provides a reference for the rehabilitation methods after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the future, and also promotes the rehabilitation effect of blood flow restriction training technology. Method: The data sources included CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science and PubMed. The search terms were blood flow restriction training, pressure training, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction rehabilitation training, blood flow restriction training and BFRT. The literature on the application of blood flow restriction training in knee joint rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in recent years was extensively reviewed, and the mechanism and clinical efficacy of this technique were summarized. Result: Blood flow restriction training adopts the method of limiting the proximal blood flow of the limb and combining low-intensity resistance training, which achieves the training effect similar to that of traditional high-load training, and improves the problems of postoperative muscle atrophy and joint function weakening. The clinical application shows good curative effect. Conclusion: Blood flow restriction training can significantly improve knee joint function by promoting skeletal muscle metabolism emergency and promoting muscle fiber collection, which provides a new idea for the functional rehabilitation of knee joint after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The technology is still in its infancy in China, and the sample size is small. The later application effect and standardization scheme need to be further studied.
