quad/vmo atrophy

I had a LR done on the first if September 2013. I started PT one week later. I currently wear high volt e-stim 24 hrs day and I also do NMES 4x day. I am unable to perform SLR without the e-stim and my PT tells me that the quad and vmo are just not responding. I am continuously guarding my knee because it goes out from me several times a day. What are my options at this point? I am to the point of not going to pt because it is just not working but I know better than that. Just feels like I am getting no where. Thanks, please give a opinion.

    What you are describing as your therapy you should have massive VMO’s. Sounds like there is some trouble with nerve innervation to the muscle. Talk to you doc and let him know what’s going on.
