The effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation superimposed on quadriceps training on gait dynamics after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
The NMES superimposed on conventional quadriceps open chain training has shown additional improvements in gait loading in patients after ACL reconstruction, which suggests it may contribute to delaying the onset of early postoperative traumatic knee osteoarthritis. In addition, changes in foot impulse may suggest a progressive trend in quadriceps avoidance gait in the early postoperative period.
