U.S., Sept. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07832669) titled 'Stimulation of Peripheral Afferents to Reduce Muscle Inhibition at the Knee' on Sept. 03.
Brief Summary: Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability, and the muscle weakness that limits walking in this population arises not only from the joint itself but from afferent signals that inhibit motor drive to the thigh muscle, which is why exercise alone so often produces incomplete recovery. This project examines whether brief, non-invasive electrical stimulation of a nerve behind the knee can reduce inhibition and restore muscle coordination while walking in adults with knee osteoarthritis. Establishing this effect would ident...
