Experience of using artificial movement correction with programmed muscle electrostimulation in rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty by midvastus approach
Abstract
This article is devoted to the experience and the results of using artificial movement correction with programmed muscle electrostimulation in rehabilitation of patients after total knee arthroplasty by mini-invasive midvastus approach. Obtained data suggest that this method could be recommended in early post-operative rehabilitation of patients and provides significant improvement of operated knee-joint and extremity function by decrease of limping, motor function and pacing pattern recovery.
