Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze the effect of the electrical stimulation superimposed onto movement in healthy semi-professional athletes who sustained a type 3a/3b hamstring strain injury.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is NMES+ useful for the treatment of type 3a/3b hamstring strain injury?
  • Does NMES+ improve the quality of the injured muscle tissue? Participants will follow a 3 week protocol, following the latest evidence available.[describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, treatments they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items]. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare [insert groups] to see if [insert effects].
