Thermal and non-thermal effects of capacitive–resistive electric transfer application on different structures of the knee: a cadaveric study

Abstract Capacitive–resistive electric transfer therapy is used in physical rehabilitation and sports medicine to treat muscle, bone, ligament and tendon injuries. The purpose is to analyze the temperature change and transmission of electric current in superficial and deep knee tissues when applying...
