Should Every ACL Get E-Stim? What the New NMES Meta-Analysis Really Shows - #AMR379
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quad strength recovery after ACL reconstruction.
Quadriceps shutdown after ACL reconstruction is one of the biggest barriers we see in the clinic. Even with modern surgical techniques and “aggressive” rehab, too many athletes struggle to get their quad strength back, and that deficit shows up later in gait, loading, and confidence on the field.
