Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how different pre-operative therapeutic approaches affect quad strength and patient satisfaction after total knee replacements. There are three treatments groups: standard physical therapy protocol, the use of CyMedica NMES garments, and a telemedical home therapy program.
Detailed Description:
Patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital and meet all eligibility criteria will be informed about the study and asked if they would like to participate. The research assistant (RA) will screen upcoming surgeries and call all qualifying patients to inform them of the study. Those who show interest will be offered the opportunity to discuss with both the RA and Principal Investigator (PI). Upon agreement, the patient's consent will be obtained and they will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups using a computer-generated randomization.
