Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard Rehabilitation
Standard meniscectomy rehabilitation including knee range of motion and strengthening exercises.
Standard rehabilitation
Standard rehabilitation will include interventions for typical knee impairments (effusion, knee motion deficits, lower extremity muscle weakness, and gait deviations) as well as advanced rehabilitation interventions as indicated (jump and agility exercises)
Standard Rehabilitation + Quadriceps intensive strengthening
The intervention includes high-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation and eccentric exercises for the quadriceps muscle in addition to the standard rehabilitation protocol.
Quadriceps intensive strengthening
Quadriceps intensive strengthening includes high-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation to the quadriceps muscle for 10 minutes and overload to the the eccentric phase of quadriceps strengthening exercises.
Standard rehabilitation
Standard rehabilitation will include interventions for typical knee impairments (effusion, knee motion deficits, lower extremity muscle weakness, and gait deviations) as well as advanced rehabilitation interventions as indicated (jump and agility exercises)
