#electricalstimulation#nmesTKRTotal Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the most successful orthopaedic procedures for reducing pain and improving quality of life in individuals with severe knee osteoarthritis. Despite successful surgery, a 2022 systematic review suggests that patients experience substantial quadriceps weakness following total knee replacement, with strength deficits often persisting for several months and, in some individuals, remaining evident long after rehabilitation has ended. In addition lower limb muscle weakness is associated with an increase in risk of falls and decline in quality of life.
This weakness can slow recovery, impair walking ability, make stairs difficult, and delay a return to everyday activities. As a result, clinicians are continually seeking strategies that can help patients regain strength more quickly.
One intervention gaining increasing attention is Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES). By delivering electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, NMES may help overcome the early challenges associated with post-operative quadriceps activation.
