Early Postoperative Compex Rehab NMES Use for Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients

"Participants in this arm will use a Compex® Rehab unit for neuromuscular electrical stimulation starting with postoperative at-home day 1 and continue using the unit twice a day, every day, until a 10-week follow-up is reached. The unit produces a 380 microsecond biphasic curve and utilizes a four phase process for the treatment (Warm-up, Work, Relaxation, and Recovery) for a total treatment time of 20 minutes and 5 seconds per session. All frequencies are delivered at the maximum subjective tolerable intensity. Participants will control this intensity and be asked to select a level that is tolerable although mildly uncomfortable; they will be instructed to increase this intensity as tolerated."
