This weeks article of the week is “Neuromuscular electrical stimulation improves strength, pain and weight distribution on patients with knee instability post surgery”. This study looked at the effects of exercise with and without neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle, on strength, pain and weight distribution in patients post knee replacement surgery. This was a randomized controlled trial which included a 4-week intervention where the experimental group completed exercises with neuromuscular stimulation, where the control group did not. The study found that knee extensor strength increased significantly in the experimental group, along with improved weight distribution and pain.
