Can late-phase exercise programs improve recovery after total hip arthroplasty?

In 2004, a single-blind, randomized controlled trial, Elaine Trudelle-Jackson and Susan S. Smith investigated the efficacy of a late-phase exercise regimen for individuals who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) between 4 to 12 months prior. The study, conducted with a convenience sample of 34 adults, allocated participants randomly into either experimental or control groups, with 28 subjects completing the trial. The intervention spanned over 8 … Continue reading Can late-phase exercise programs improve recovery after total hip arthroplasty?

Can functional electrostimulation enhance muscle strength in osteoarthritis knee patients?

In 2004, Rosemffet, et. al., conducted study about Osteoarthritis (OA) which means the knee often leads to chronic disability, primarily due to weakness in the quadriceps muscles. Functional electrostimulation (FES) combined with exercise has been suggested as a potential treatment to address this issue at the muscle level. This pilot study aimed to compare the effects of FES and exercise on quadriceps muscle strength, pain, … Continue reading Can functional electrostimulation enhance muscle strength in osteoarthritis knee patients?
