| Abstract | [Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of NMES tothe post-TKA rehabilitation protocol on the functional status and quality of life of thepatients. [Subjects and Methods] Patients were randomized into an exercise (control) andelectrical stimulation (NMES) group. A home exercise program was prescribed for thecontrol group. For the neuromuscular stimulation group 30 minute electrical stimulationapplied to the vastus medialis muscle 5 days a week for 4 to 6 weeks. VAS, the timed upand go test, WOMAC and SF-36 scores were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively atthe first month and the third month of the follow-up period. [Results] Both the NMES grouphad 30 patients each, with 2 and 1 male patients respectively. The comparisons of WOMACresults at month 1 revealed that pain, stiffness, and total scores of the NMES group wassignificantly better than those of control group at the first and third months.Significantly better physical function and SF-36 subscales, except mental health, werefound for the NMES group at the first month of follow-up. [Conclusion] The inclusion ofthe neuromuscular electrical stimulation program after knee arthroplasty was moreeffective at providing rapid improvements in knee pain, walking distance and quality oflife. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
