Early Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation For Quadriceps Muscle Activation Deficits Following Total Knee Replacement
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Standard Rehabilitation Protocol for Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early intervention with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for muscle strengthening immediately after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is more effective than voluntary exercise alone in countering changes in quadriceps muscle activation, force production, and function in older adults.
