Synopsis
66 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to a standard rehabilitation protocol or the same rehabilitation protocol supplemented with quadriceps neuromuscular electrical stimulation to assess the program effects on muscle strength and function over a one year period. A significantly greater increase in both hamstring and quadriceps muscle strength was noted in the NMES g...
