Does adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation to rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty lead to a better quadriceps muscle strength recovery? A systematic review

In conclusion, NMES is effective for quadriceps strength recovery following TKA. NMES intensity and duration are essential for good NMES outcomes on quadriceps strength. Further studies on NMES methodologies, pulse features and settings are required to address the gaps in knowledge on NMES following TKA.
