Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
The intervention was performed with subjects seated on a regular chair (hip and knee angles maintained at approximately 908), 3 times/week for a period of 8 weeks. NMES parameters included: rectangular biphasic symmetric current, pulse duration of 400 ms and stimulation frequency of 80 Hz.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimlation (NMES)
The intervention was performed with subjects seated on a regular chair (hip and knee angles maintained at approximately 908), 3 times/week for a period of 8 weeks. NMES parameters included: rectangular biphasic symmetric current, pulse duration of 400 ms and stimulation frequency of 80 Hz.
