SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 21 days

Population: The measurement cannot be collected because of the patients' drowsiness or incorporation.

muscle power measurement by hand grip digital dynamometer every 2 days

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: First 1 week.

Population: The data was not completed because undetected IL-15 in first two samples. No data collection was performed for further samples.

Serum interleukin(IL)-1B, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-alpha will be measured before/after first section of EMS, and after fifth EMS section.
