Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We are examining the use of restricted blood flow, through full occlusion, on a single thigh for 50 minutes (5 minutes on, 5 minutes off), completed every other day for 2 weeks to improve function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis and low back pain.
