Selective Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on VMO

September 11, 2015 updated by: Jamilson Simões Brasileiro, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

Immediate Effect of Selective Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of Vastus Medialis Obliquus in Women With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

The purpose of this study is analyze the immediate effect of selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation of vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) in the electrical activity of VMO and vastus lateralis (VL) and in the isokinetic performance of women with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
