@steve161 I had about 25 PT sessions before my insurer timed me out on my right TKR. At each one, at the end, the therapist massaged my quads and then gave me ten minutes on a electrical stimulation machine.

@steveinarizona , looks like you have some questions to find answers to: 1. Was the therapist stimulating for nerves or muscles 2. What setup did they use. I was surprised to find out that for NMES the 2 different setups actually had different waveforms. The large muscle setup was the symmetrical wave for was a simple sine wave and the small muscle setup had a very unique Asymmetrical wave form, and the placement of the negative lead had to be place nearest the heart.
