Description
Maria Paço and co-authors review in 2024 how therapy can ease a common problem after knee ligament injury or repair: the thigh muscle will not switch on fully. That failure, called arthrogenic muscle inhibition, slows strength gains and recovery. The team gathered trials from four databases and graded their quality with standard scales.
Twenty studies qualified. Fifteen tested exercise, and exercise clearly helped. Seven tested treatments that pass current into the muscle, and two forms paired with exercise improved strength, pain, and joint movement. Nine more studies covered mental rehearsal, cold packs, taping, and vibration. Mental rehearsal and cold used before exercise aided muscle recovery, and taping cut swelling and pain better than exercise alone. Vibration results were mixed. The authors put structured exercise first, with add-on therapies to lift results further.
