OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
(TENS) on joint position sense (JPS) in knee osteoarthritis (OA) subjects.
METHODS: Thirty subjects with knee OA (40-60 years old) using non-random sampling
participated in this study. In order to evaluate the absolute error of
repositioning of the knee joint, Qualysis Track Manager system was used and
sensory electrical stimulation was applied through the TENS device. RESULTS: The
mean errors in repositioning of the joint, in two position of the knee joint with
20 and 60 degree angle, after applying the TENS was significantly decreased (p <
0.05). CONCLUSION: Application of TENS in subjects with knee OA could improve JPS
in these subjects.
