Interventions

Intervention 1: high frequency electrical stimulation( high frequency TENS with the duration of 250 µs and 100 HZ frequency) Intervention group are positioned supine on a treatment bench

then, electrical stimulation applies via an surface electrical stimulations places through surface electrodes placed at both side of knee bilaterally for 4 minutes at sensory level. Intervention

then,sham electrical stimulation applies via an surface electrical stimulations places through surface electrodes placed at both side of knee bilaterally for 4 minutes.
