Abstract
Abstract
Background. Despite the advantages of arthroscopic surgery in the treatment of meniscus injuries, a successful clinical outcome depends on both the surgical technique and adequate postoperative rehabilitation. Despite efforts to improve early postoperative rehabilitation programs, all studies have mainly focused on the operated knee, and little is known about the effectiveness of "contralateral training". The use of electrical myostimulation of the contralateral limb is a promising method of neuromuscular training, with complete inactivity or low activity of the muscles of the operated leg, which is important for maintaining muscle tone, preventing muscle hypotrophy, preventing complications and improving the patient's quality of life.
