Background: This study was to identify the effects of blood flow restriction on gluteus muscles thickness, density, and white area index for children with cere- bral palsy.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Twenty children with cerebral palsy were assigned randomly to an experimental (n=10) or control (n=10) group. The experimental group performed a bicycle exercise after blood flow restriction. The control group performed a bicycle exercise. The study used an ultrasonic instrument to measure gluteus mus- cles thickness, density, and WAI. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used for determination of differences before and after treatment, and a Mannn-whitney U test was used for determination of differences between treatment groups.
Results: As a result of comparison within groups, the experimental and control group showed significant difference for gluteus muscles thickness, density, and WAI after the experiment (p<0.05). In comparison between two groups, the experimental group showed more significant difference in gluteus muscles thickness, density, and WAI than the control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on these results, a bicycle exercise after blood flow restriction effectively improved the gluteus muscles thickness, density, and WAI of chil- dren with cerebral palsy.
