Neuromuscular electrical stimulation compared to exercise alone for regaining strength in patients post anterior cruciate ligament surgery: A critically appraised topic

摘要: After an anterior cruciate ligament injury, many patients choose to undergo surgery. As a result, muscle strength and function decrease especially in the quadriceps muscles. During initial phases of rehabilitation, healthcare professionals commonly address these deficits. The purpose this paper is present evidence regarding efficacy implementing Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) as adjunct standard treatment plan post-ACL Findings indicate that early application NMES into significantly increases quadriceps’ when compared strengthening exercises alone.
