The purpose of the study is to determine the role of blood flow restriction (BFR) + neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in improving post-operative physical therapy and recovery after ankle fracture surgery. We expect to see improved muscle strength, less muscle wasting, and improved functional recovery after surgery when making these additions to routine post-operative (postop) physical therapy protocols.
