Table 2.

Mean values and standard deviations of peak forces normalized by body weight of the operated limb recorded during the MVICs of knee extensor muscles at 30° (Ext 30°) and 90° (Ext 90°), and knee flexor muscles at 60° (Flex60°) and 90° (Flex 90°), at T3, T4 and T5. Values are reported for males and females of each group, and for each whole group (NMES+ and NAT).
