Before and after treatment the position of the patella at fixed knee flexion angles and the area of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles were studied by computed tomography. Isokinetic quadriceps torque was registered with a Cybex II Dynamometer. An evaluation with a functional knee score was carried out. The healthy contralateral leg served as control in all the examinations. Clinically two\u2010thirds of the patients had improved after 10 weeks of treatment and this improvement remained at follow\u2010up 3.5 years later. The area of the vastus medialis and the quadriceps torque of the treated leg increased significantly, while the area of the vastus lateralis and the position of patella did not change. We conclude that transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation of the vastus medialis and stretching of the lateral thigh muscles might be of benefit in patients with patello\u2010femoral symptoms and a hypotrophic vastus medialis. An improvement after 10 weeks of treatment seems to predict a good long\u2010term result.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/bf01565458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,27]],"date-time":"2005-04-27T14:23:54Z","timestamp":1114611834000},"page":"85-92","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Electrical stimulation of vastus medialis and stretching of lateral thigh muscles in patients with patello\u2010femoral symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Werner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Physical Therapy Education Karolinska Institute Stockholm Sweden"},{"name":"<!--<label>2<\/label>--> Department of Sports Orthopaedic Surgery Karolinska Hospital Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Arvidsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>3<\/label>--> Department of Radiology S\u00f6dersjukhuset Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"Arvidsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Physical Therapy Education Karolinska Institute Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Eriksson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>2<\/label>--> Department of Sports Orthopaedic Surgery Karolinska Hospital Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1993,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","first-page":"131","article-title":"Patella pain","volume":"12","author":"Aglietti P","year":"1990","journal-title":"J Sports Traumatol Relat Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/0147-7447-19861101-08"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/0147-7447-19861001-13"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198410000-00023","article-title":"Current concepts of etiology and treatment of chondromalacia patellae","volume":"189","author":"Bentley G","year":"1984","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","first-page":"53","article-title":"Shape of the intercondylar groove normally and in recurrent dislocation of patella.
