Effects of Functional Electrostimulation on Pain, Muscular Strength, and Functional Capacity in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Abstract

FES merits a larger placebo-controlled study as it may prove to be useful patients with OA of the knee; the combination with exercise was helpful in improving muscle strength. This technique may be considered in patients who are unable to carry out physical activity due to health problems or in those who are not interested in physical activity.
