Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation and Strength Training in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation and Strength Training in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and of resisted exercises on increasing quadriceps strength, decreasing pain and on recovering motor function of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• American College of rheumatology criterion for osteoarthritis diagnosis

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients that have done knee replacement or are about to do.
• Patients with health conditions that are not compatible with the interventions
• Patients that have done intraarticular corticoid
