Study Design Prospective study with repeated measures. Objectives The overall goal of this
investigation was to describe the time course of recovery of impairments and function after …

Background: While total knee arthroplasty reduces pain and provides a functional range of
motion of the knee, quadriceps weakness and reduced functional capacity typically are still …

Introduction: Patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee have quadriceps weakness and
arthrogenous muscle inhibition (AMI). While total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reliably reduces pain …

Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) successfully reduces pain, but has not achieved
comparable improvements in function. We hypothesized that quadriceps strength affects …

Objective To determine the effectiveness of progressive quadriceps strengthening with or
without neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on quadriceps strength, activation, and …

The purpose was to explore the responsiveness of both patient-report and performance-based
outcome measures to determine functional changes during the acute and long-term …

BACKGROUND: Temporal-spatial gait parameters improve following total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) but lower limb kinematics and moments fail to match those of age-matched healthy …

OBJECTIVE: Quadriceps weakness is common after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) as is
longterm disability. We hypothesized that preoperative quadriceps strength would be the best …

Study Design A case series. Objectives The purpose of this case series was to assess the
effect of high-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on quadriceps strength …

Background and Purpose. Quadriceps femoris muscle weakness as manifested by a
decrease in force-generating capability is a persistent problem after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). …
