Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Electromyographic activity (root mean square - RMS) of vastus medialis obliquus
The immediate effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation will be measured through surface electromyography and the variable analyzed will be root mean square (RMS).
Change from baseline in Electromyographic activity at 30 minutes
Study Arms (2)
Healthy
EXPERIMENTALHealthy women are submitted to selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation on VMO.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome
EXPERIMENTALWomen with patellofemoral pain syndrome are submitted to selective neuromuscular electrical stimulation on VMO.
