Pain scores decreased significantly in both EMS and MST groups at week 7, improving overall function.
Muscle strength and activation increased notably, with the EMS group showing the highest improvement in the VMO:VL ratio.
This randomized, controlled trial involved 58 participants receiving either EMS, MST, or health education for 6 weeks.
Results highlight the potential of EMS in clinical treatments for patellofemoral pain, necessitating further exploration.
