Brief Summary:
The focus of this interventional study is to assess the feasibility of blood flow restriction training BFRT in a geriatric stroke population Patients will undergo a 4-week program of BFRT additionally to our standard physiotherapy conducted twice weekly by experienced physiotherapists
The main goal of the study is to assess its feasibility concerning the safety and tolerance of BFRT from a patients and therapists scope Furthermore the investigators want to establish the proportion of eligible individuals their willingness to undergo BFRT as well as the time investment
The feasibility of an effectiveness study and potential sample size will be evaluated aside

Detailed Description:
Stroke is often linked to a loss in muscle strength and a decline in functioning during daily life In the past several studies have focused on the effects of resistance training on muscle strength in order to restore patients functioning in daily life For optimal improvements in muscle strength the use of high loads with few repetitions per set have been recommended even within the geriatric population However the use of high load exercises in a geriatric population can often be challenging particularly in patients who have suffered a stroke
To counter this blood flow restriction training BFRT might give some opportunities BFRT is a relatively new technique for strength training using a cuff to compromise blood flow in combination with low loads It is a Japanese technique from origin also known as KAATSU and has been proven to be effective in several populations including a geriatric population
During this study patients will undergo 8 sessions of BFRT given by experienced physiotherapists twice a week during a 4-week program additionally to standard physiotherapy program the Geriatric Activation Program Pellenberg GAPP Each patient will undergo 1 or 2 specific predetermined exercises for the upper or lower limb based on the individual goals
