Clinical Trial Summary

The use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as a home-based therapy following total knee arthroplasty. Measures of interest: lower limb venous hemodynamics, joint range of motion, lower limb swelling, walking speed, quality of life, activities of daily living, device usability, device compliance, activity levels, and pain (VAS).


Clinical Trial Description

The use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as a home-based therapy following total knee arthroplasty. All participants receive and use a research stimulator for approximately 5 weeks following total knee arthroplasty. Participants randomised to either a stimulation group or placebo-controlled group. Stimulation of the soleus muscle to investigate the effects on lower limb venous hemodynamics, joint range of motion, lower limb swelling, walking speed, quality of life, activities of daily living, device usability, device compliance, activity levels, and pain (VAS) in both groups. ;
