Selective Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on VMO
Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte
Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Electromyographic activity (root mean square - RMS) of vastus medialis obliquus
The immediate effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation will be measured through surface electromyography and the variable analyzed will be root mean square (RMS).
Time frame: Change from baseline in Electromyographic activity at 30 minutes
