Study type | Observational |
The purpose of this study is to determine if a home-based electrical stimulation (ES) program is more effective than the standard of care (SOC) at improving quadriceps function, functional outcomes, patient reported outcomes, and treatment compliance in patients recovering from knee surgery. It is hypothesized that there will be significantly better outcomes and compliance in ES group when compared to the SOC group.

Other | Treatment compliance | The number and duration of treatments performed by the patients | Preoperative, 1 month post-operative, 3-4 month post-operative, 6 month post-operative, and 12 month post-operative | |
Primary | Isometric knee extension torque | Knee extension torque derived from a maximal voluntary isometric contraction | Preoperative baseline, 1 month post-operative, 3-4 month post-operative, 6 month post-operative, and 12 month post-operative | |
Primary | Quadriceps activation | Central activation ratio of the quadriceps derived from the superimposed burst technique | Preoperative, 3-4 month post-operative, 6 month post-operative, and 12 month post-operative | |
Secondary | Patient-reported outcomes | Patient-reported outcome measures will include the following: Veterans Rand 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12), Knee Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS), the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS), the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation Form, and the Lysholm scale | Preoperative, 1 month post-operative, 3-4 month post-operative, 6 month post-operative, and 12 month post-operative | |
Secondary | Functional outcomes | Functional outcome measures will include the following: Single-leg hop, 30-second step down, and star-excursion balance test. | Preoperative, 3-4 month post-operative, 6 month post-operative, and 12 month post-operative | |
Secondary | Cortical excitability | Individuals who have been diagnosed with epilepsy or have a family history of epilepsy may be at risk of seizure during cortical excitability testing. Therefore, these individuals will be excluded from this study. Otherwise, this measure is considered to be safe and is used in the realms of both medicine and research. | Preoperative, 1 month post-operative, 3-4 month post-operative, 6 month post-operative, and 12 month post-operative |
