Adolescent Anterior Knee Pain: ARP Wave Therapy vs. Physical Therapy
Accelerated Recovery Performance (ARP) Wave therapy is an electromyostimulation therapy designed to enhance neuromuscular control in order to rehabilitate patients with musculoskeletal pathology. The outcomes of this technology have not been assessed under the rigors of clinical science. This prospective randomized crossover study will assess ARP Wave to both shorten duration of therapy and determine other advantages in the treatment of adolescent anterior knee pain. Two cohorts of teenagers will be followed weekly through either physical therapy (PT) or ARP Wave therapy, physiological therapy versus neurological therapy, respectively. Results should highlight the clinical utility of this modality and provide pilot data for future study.
