Thanks @user-gb8gb5je9u for the question. In the lecture it is mentioned that the BFR is generally used with clients who have an intact central nervous system (CNS) but experienced therapist could use the BFR for example in wheelchair seating or prescription of orthotics for people with conditions like spinal cord injuries. There are several reasons why the BFR will not be suitable for clients with CNS impairment, the main one being: The BFR assumes the ability to acquire and refine voluntary motor skills through practice and repetition. However, CNS impairments often disrupt communication between the brain and muscles, resulting in abnormal muscle tone. This makes voluntary control of movement difficult or impossible. The BFR focuses on range of motion, muscle strength and endurance but for individuals with CNS impairments the underlying cause for movement difficulties is usually abnormal muscle tone. Therefore, other frames of reference which facilitate neurological recovery and occupational performance for people with CNS impairments will be more appropriate e.g. the Neuro-Developmental Frame of Reference. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much ❤
You are most welcome @keranthomas5294 I hope you found the lecture helpful!
Why biomechanical frame of reference is not given to patients having imparied central nervous system and given to intact central nervous system
