“…All the participants exposed to stimulation were able to complete addition repetitions; ES = 4 ± 2 and MS = 7 ± 6, range (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). No significant difference between the number of additional repetitions for the ES and MS groups were observed (p = 0.187) ( Figure 5).…”

“…Although the baseline measures differed between participants in the three groups, the tendency to a positive change of quadriceps strength as measured by the 1-RM ( Figure 6c) in all groups is promising, despite the non-significant difference between the groups (CONT = 29.30 ± 10 kg, ES = 35.55 ± 21.38 kg, MS = 36.85 ± 23.61 kg). Previous studies have found a significant effect of ES on muscle strength versus a control group [7], and over periods as short as five weeks [2,3,12]. However, no studies have investigated if peripheral ES and MS applied at the point of muscle failure following voluntary exercise could induce greater strength changes than voluntary muscle activity alone.…”

“…Resistance training is frequently used to promote muscle hypertrophy, strength and knee laxity. Electrical stimulation (ES) and magnetic stimulation (MS) have been used as an adjunct to athletic training [1][2][3], although it is more commonly used as a rehabilitation therapy to promote quadriceps strength after surgery [4][5][6][7], quadriceps hypertrophy [8], to investigate different types of muscle fatigue [9], daily functional activities after stroke [10], and osteoarthritis patients [11,12]. However, the evidence concerning the usefulness of peripheral stimuli as an adjunct to training programmes for enhancing muscle hypertrophy, strength, knee laxity and training healthy people is not conclusive.…”

Electrical stimulation (ES) and magnetic stimulation (MS), applied peripherally, may be used to elicit muscle contractions to increase muscle hypertrophy, increase muscle strength and reduce knee laxity in rehabilitation following injury. We aimed to examine the effect of a three-week exercise programme designed to induce muscle hypertrophy augmented by peripheral ES and MS. We hypothesised that the use of peripheral stimulation to augment voluntary drive during a resistance-training protocol would induce more repetitions thus leading to increased thigh circumference, muscle layer thickness, and quadriceps strength whilst decreasing knee laxity. Thirty healthy participants were divided randomly into either ES, MS or Control groups. Five resistance training sessions were carried out, consisting of four sets of quadriceps extensions. During the first three sets the participants performed eight repetitions at 85% of their 1-repetition maximum (1-RM). On the last set, the participants were instructed to perform the exercise until failure. The augmentation of peripheral stimuli allowed the MS and ES groups to continue to exercise producing, on average, 4 ± 2 and 7 ± 6 additional repetitions with ES and MS, respectively. Following the training, significant increases were observed for both 1-RM (p = 0.005) and muscle layer thickness (p = 0.031) whilst no change was observed in thigh circumference (p = 0.365). Knee laxity decreased (p = 0.005). However, there were no significant differences in the stimulation groups compared with control for any of these measurements. The additional repetitions elicited by stimulation after the point of failure suggests that peripheral electrical and/or magnetic stimulation may be useful as an adjunct for resistance training. However, this effect of resistance training augmented by peripheral stimulation on hypertrophy, strength and knee laxity may be small

“…The advance training include 2 nd set of exercise with 10 repetitions, twice a day (2-3 week) and the 3rd set with 10 repetitions twice a day until the (4-8 week). Group B received short arc quadriceps exercise for 8 weeks (at least 1 session/week under the supervision of physiotherapist and regular home exercise 14 . With initial dosage: 3 sets of 10 repetition/set for 3 weeks (1-3 weeks) and advance training include 3 sets of 20 repetitions/set for 4 weeks (4-8 weeks).…”

Background: Anterior knee pain is the most common problem encountered by clinicians with an estimated prevalence of 15-45% around the globe. Thereby, this study aimed to determine the effects of isometrics and short arc quadriceps exercises on patients with patellofemoral knee pain. Methodology: The quasi-experimental study was conducted in Ameen Medical and Dental Centre, Karachi on a total of 80 anterior knee pain patients, including both genders and ages ranging from 16-40 years. The individuals were divided into two equal groups A and B (n=40) which followed isometric and short arc quadriceps exercises regimen, respectively. The pre and post-assessment of pain, muscle activity, muscle thickness measurement, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was done using Kujala assessment score, visual analog scale, Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback, and rehabilitative ultrasound imaging, respectively on the first day, 6th and 8th week of exercises session. Results: The results showed that pain was much decreased from 1st to 8th week after following Short arc quadriceps exercises (p<0.0001). The results also showed the higher muscle efficacy and HRQoL after following short arc quadriceps exercises, whereas Rehabilitative Ultrasound showed the higher effectiveness of Isometric quadricep exercises in increasing the muscle mass. Conclusion: It is concluded that the short arc quadriceps exercises have greater effectiveness in reducing pain, enhancing muscle activity, and increasing the HRQoL, whereas isometric quadricep exercises have shown beneficial effects in increasing muscle mass.

“…For knee flexion/extension, three studies noted the use of maximal effort contractions, with only one specifying the progression from submaximal contractions in the first two weeks to maximal contractions after week two [10,[22][23]. For the isometric quadriceps exercise, two research groups used maximal contractions only [24,25]. There were no loading parameters mentioned, however, from studies that included the straight leg raise.…”

Isometric exercises for physiotherapeutic rehabilitation are often prescribed, with little quantification of the load being prescribed. This article aimed to provide a framework and practical examples of how the physiotherapist may take a more quantitative evidence-based approach to isometric assessment, monitoring, and exercise prescription of knee osteoarthritis, by integrating a strain gauge into their practice. Strength measures to monitor were discussed. A series of fourteen studies were reviewed, with the intent of identifying isometric exercises that had been utilized in the rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis. Of the fourteen studies, the three most identified isometric exercises were seated knee extension, knee flexion, and the supine straight leg raise. The integration of strain gauge technology with these exercises provided the focus of the remainder of the article.
