Clinical trials: Quadriceps Muscle Strength
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Electrical Stimulation and Eccentric Exercise for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury
Quadriceps muscle weakness is a common consequence of ACL injury. This muscle weakness is considered to result from neural inhibition preventing full muscle contraction and is referred to as arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI).

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Comparison of Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation and Exercise on Quadriceps Function in COPD
Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients develop leg weakness and a reduced walking capacity, due to reduced leg muscle oxygen-utilising capacity (OUC).

- NCT00737698
- Testing
- Exercise, Repetitive magnetic stimulation
- Where
- United Kingdom
- Volunteers
- 86 people, healthy volunteers welcome
