About this trial
The blood flow restriction method, the effects of which have been frequently investigated in the literature in recent years, can produce muscle hypertrophy with low-intensity load and can be easily tolerated through to low mechanical stress, seems to be an exercise approach that can be used in the recovery of strength in cases with minor patellar instability and can contribute to the recovery of functional capacity without delay.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Being between the ages of 18-40 years,
Volunteering to participate in the study,
Having a complaint of anterior knee pain for at least 3 months,
Having been diagnosed with unilateral minor patellar instability,

History of one or more traumatic-atraumatic patella dislocations,
Evidence of osteoarthritis on radiological imaging (≥ Kellgren-Lawrence Stage 2)
Having at least one of the contraindications preventing the application of blood flow restrictive exercises (Smoking, previous venous thromboembolism, risk of peripheral vascular disease (ankle-brachial index <0.9), coronary heart disease, hypertension, hemophilia, etc.),
Previously diagnosed cardiovascular disease limiting effort capacity (Myocardial infarction, angina, exercise intolerance, etc.),
