Episode 18 - BFR for Neuro with Dr. Evan Cohen
In this episode of Synapse, we delve into the fascinating world of blood flow restriction (BFR) training with Dr. Evan Cohen, PT, PhD, NCS, an associate professor at Arcadia University and a leading expert in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Dr. Cohen shares his expertise on the application of BFR in neurorehabilitation, specifically for individuals with MS. We explore the science behind this innovative technique, discussing how it can lead to significant strength and functional gains even with low-intensity exercise.
Key takeaways from this episode:
The Basics of BFR: Understand how BFR works and its potential benefits for individuals with neurological conditions.
BFR and MS: Learn about the latest research on BFR in MS, including Dr. Cohen's own groundbreaking studies.
Outcomes and Future Directions: Discover the promising results seen in BFR studies and Dr. Cohen's vision for the future of BFR in neurorehabilitation.
Practical Applications: Gain insights into how BFR can be safely and effectively implemented in clinical practice.
