We are currently studying the effect of a new treatment technique to maximize thigh muscle strength for patients immediately after a total knee replacement. Treatment is provided at no cost to the patient for 6 weeks (3 times per week). 

We are looking for subjects following a total knee replacement, ages 55-85, to participate in a research study.  Eligible patients must  have had one or two knees replaced in the past month. 

Patients cannot have:
 1) diabetes
 2) high blood pressure that is not controlled by medication
 3) other significant orthopedic problems in the operated leg
