Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
A
neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Cefar-Sport (CefarCompex Scandinavia AB)
Electrical stimuli of 50 Hz (pulse width 0.25ms, 8 sec on, 4 sec off) were applied daily for 30 min, for 4 days, starting on the first postoperative day.The amplitude of the electrical stimuli in the stimulated leg was adjusted to ensure maximum tolerable muscle contraction.
B
neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Cefar-Sport (CefarCompex Scandinavia AB)
Electrical stimuli of 50 Hz (pulse width 0.25ms, 8 sec on, 4 sec off) were applied daily for 30 min, for 4 days, starting on the first postoperative day. Current was increased until the patient could feel a tingling sensation but no muscle contraction was visible or palpable.
