Description
The study demonstrates superior range of motion improvement with superimposed electrical stimulation but provides no mechanistic explanation for this enhancement. Understanding whether this involves motor unit recruitment, proprioceptive feedback modulation, or neuroplasticity changes is crucial for optimizing rehabilitation protocols.
