Selective Electrical Muscle Stimulation of the Vastus Medialis in a Patient With Knee Osteoarthritis, With Changes in Muscle Quality, Symptoms, and Physical Activity: A Case Report.
BACKGROUND Fat accumulation in the vastus medialis has been associated with the progression of knee osteoarthritis. Electrical muscle stimulation may reduce intramuscular fat accumulation by inducing contractions of the targeted muscle. We hypothesized that electrical stimulation of the vastus medialis would be associa...
