ABSTRACT: The utilization of blood flow restriction has garnished considerable attention due to its widespread application and benefits that include strength enhancement, muscle hypertrophy, and increased level of function for specific populations. Blood flow restriction induces a hypoxic environment within a muscle group, initiating a metabolic cascade that stimulates muscle protein synthesis, altered gene regulation of muscle satellite cells, and increased muscle fiber recruitment, ultimately resulting in improved strength and endurance. When using blood flow restriction, consideration of the individual patient, occlusion pressure, cuff width, and cuff size are paramount. Blood flow restriction has been proven to be a consistently safe and effective tool for augmenting rehabilitative regimens for the upper and lower extremity.

ABSTRACT: Advancements in technology and the economic desires to maximize use of athletic playing surfaces have led to the development of various playing surfaces across the spectrum of sports. Each of these surfaces possesses specific safety profiles which are sport and population specific. Despite the growing medical literature on outdoor playing surfaces, inconsistent data exist on both orthopedic injuries and general medical concerns, such as surface component exposure toxicity and infection risk. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of data regarding various indoor playing surfaces and their effects on injury risk; this is an area ripe for further medical investigation. Understanding the differences in various play surfaces and their associated injury and health concerns is crucial for all medical staff providing care to athletes across the spectrum of skill and competition.
