Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of resistance training with blood flow restriction in water on functional capacity, heart rate variability, electrical activity of quadriceps muscles and knee joint kinematics during walking in postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis
Design
A clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups (resistance in water, resistance with blood flow restriction), Restricted randomization with a stratified method, on 45 patients with 2nd and 3rd degree arthritis, postmenopausal women, Gpower software was used for the sample size in three groups.
Settings and conduct
Training sessions will be conducted in the culture pool of Qaen city under the supervision of the physiotherapist and the research team. The desired tests will be conducted in the Physiology Laboratory of Birjand University.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Postmenopausal women with grade 2 and 3 arthritis; No history of cardiovascular disease; non-smokers; Not suffering from skin and contagious diseases that can be transmitted by water; not taking non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs in the last 3 months; No injection of corticosteroids in the last 6 months; No surgery or other invasive procedure on the knee in the last 6 months
Intervention groups
The Progressive resistance group in the water by tying weights to the ankles and performing hydrotherapy movements for knee strengthening, The Progressive resistance group with blood flow restriction in the water by tying a cuff around the thigh and tying weights to the ankles and performing hydrotherapy movements for knee strengthening, The Control group did not receive any activities under the supervision of the research group and did their normal life activities
Main outcome variables
Heart rate variability; Knee kinematic condition while walking; Electrical activity of the quadriceps muscle; Functional capacity
