The present study examined to identify the effect of rehabilitation exercises with BFR in improving muscle strength, thigh muscle hypertrophy, and knee joint flexibility for those with double fractures in the lower body. Methods: 6 volunteer subjects (average age 44 (40–50) years) were randomized into one group that trained in restriction of blood flow period 8 weeks. Participants were familiar with all testing and exercise protocols before starting the study. Rehabilitation exercises with BFR were done before and after. Form for each player to record the sequence measurements. Quadriceps muscle measurement (cm), Goniometer to measure the range of motion of the knee joint and Quadriceps muscle strength measurement with dynamometer were performed on the participants. Independent samples t-test was used to compare the scores obtained from the measurements according to categorical variables.Significance level was determined as P 0.05. Results: Thigh circumference (cm) there was a significant increase in thigh circumference from before the experiment (41.17 cm) to after the experiment (45.33 cm), (p
