Summary

To determine the effects of ultrasound therapy and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the muscle architecture and functional capacity of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed description

All participants who were satisfied with the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to one of two study groups: Group 1- ultrasound therapy group; Group 2 - the neuromuscular electrical stimulation group. Group allocation was randomized in two blocks of 30 sealed envelopes without external marks, which were mixed and numbered from 1 to 30, containing a piece of paper with the group allocation. The researchers responsible for outcome measures and ultrasonograhic measurements were blinded to the patients' diagnosis or intervention.
