Exposure to BFR did not result in forelimb biomechanical dysfunction in four horses. Applied pressures of 75-151 mmHg would likely simulate a range of 50%-80% vascular occlusion in horses, but inherent physiological variation between horses and forelimbs warrants incorporation of individual pressures.
