Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessment of EMG activity The EMG activity of VL and rectus femoris (RF) muscles on the other contralateral side (left side) will be recorded using needle EMG this assessment will be done twice the first was before the start of NMES and the second time will be at the end of the program..to assess the improvement on the contralateral quadriceps muscle power. to search for faciliatory effect occurred by NMES | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| strengthen for the quadriceps muscle on one side can be done by stimulation to the other side which can be applied later to all patients | — |
