Recruitment Internal of the patients and normal subjects were recorded by using a coaxial needle electrode in vastus medialis during voluntary contraction.   The effects of ten sessions of closed chain quadriceps exercise were evaluated on the control group and patients by methods of RI recording.   Following exercise program there was significant decrease of mean value of RI in Vastus medialis muscle (P M3 ER -
