Abstract
Immediately after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, 110 patients were randomly assigned to treatment with high-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation (thirty-one patients), high-level volitional exercise (thirty-four patients), low-intensity neuromuscular electrical sKeywords
