Quadriceps weakness is an impairment that is ubiquitous in
the post-surgical knee. Strength in the quadriceps has been
related to knee kinematics and kinetics and is frequently
used as a progression criterion for post-ACL reconstruction
rehabilitation. In people post total knee arthroplasty, strength
loss and recovery is related to 6-minute walk distance and
stair climbing performance. One issue c ommon to both post-ACL
reconstruction and TKA patients is the protracted time it
takes for quadriceps force production to return to pre-surgical
levels, if ever. This course discusses the use of neuromuscular
electrical stimulation (NMES) in conjunction with traditional
exercise to regain quadriceps strength, with emphasis on the
post-ACL reconstruction and TKA patient.
Join Scott Stackhouse as he discusses the appropriate parameters to conduct NMES, expected strength and functional outcomes, mechanisms for the improvement in strength with NMES, and accommodations for the type of surgical procedure performed.

| Objectives |
Upon completion of this audio conference, you will be able to:
- Identify the training parameters necessary for NMES to maximize
quadriceps strength gains.
- Summarize well-controlled studies, which use NMES to enhance
quadriceps strength post ACL reconstruction and TKA.
- Describe current hypothetical mechanisms that may contribute
to NMES’s ability to enhance quadriceps strength gains.
- Construct NMES interventions that will accommodate knee surgical
procedures outside of ACL reconstruction and TKA.

Scott K. Stackhouse, PT, PhD, is an associate
professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Arcadia University.
He received a BA in biology-psychology from Franklin & Marshall
College, a MSPT from Arcadia University, and PhD in biomechanics
and movement science with a concentration in applied neuromuscular
physiology from the University of Delaware. Stackhouse’s clinical
experience has focused on outpatient neuromuscular and orthopedic
populations, and his research has examined neuromuscular function
in aging, in conditions such as cerebral palsy and spinal cord
injury, and of the rotator cuff. He has 11 peer-reviewed publications
and numerous scientific and invited presentations. Stackhouse
has been funded by the Foundation for Physical Therapy and the
PVA Research Foundation, and has received the Chattanooga Research
Award from APTA and the Christian R. & Mary F. Lindback Award
for distinguished teaching from Arcadia University. |
