Official Title: Effects of an Electrical Stimulation Program on Strength, Functional Capacity, Pain, and Gait in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research is to investigate if a 12-week program of stimulation assisted activities can combat disuse atrophy for individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).This study will use a home-based medical device to administer electrical stimulation and measure its effect on outcomes that include quadriceps strength, perceived functional capacity, pain, and walking performance.It was hypothesized that stimulation assisted activities will show larger muscle mass and strength improvements;…
