High frequency transcutaneous electrical stimulation in the immediate postoperative period of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomized clinical trial
Abstract:Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important structure for knee stability. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is an electrical current applied for significant pain relief. Objective: To evaluate the effects of high-frequency TENS on the immediate postoperative period of ACL reconstruction. Methods: 46 patients in the postoperative period of ACL reconstruction were randomly assigned to a control group (CG=23) and a TENS group (TG=23). Knee range of motion (ROM), pain, muscl… Show more
