Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 50 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Individuals with unilateral rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament verified arthroscopically or by magnetic resonance imaging and who will undergo Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction surgery

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with a history of renal disease; lactose intolerance; diabetes; history of surgery or contralateral knee dysfunction; any dysfunction or surgery in the hips; ankles or feet and for both groups; any neurological, cardiovascular; metabolic; rheumatic or vestibular disease; presence of cardiovascular or respiratory disease that impedes the performance of the study movements and patients who refuse to sign the informed consent form

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improved contractility of 10% of thigh, vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles in patients participating in the Whey Protein group associated with Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation. The method used to evaluate the contractility of these muscles will be surface electromyography.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction of the joint and systemic inflammatory process, which will be verified through the analysis of blood cytokines. ;Better balance of volunteers belonging to the Whey Protein group associated with quadriceps femoral electrical stimulation, this outcome will be analyzed through baropodometry.;Better thigh trophism in the Whey Protein group associated with electrical stimulation, this outcome will be analyzed through thigh perimetry.—
