Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Active Therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic fields therapy will be delivered using the BIXEPS system (QuantumTX, Singapore).
Pulsed electromagnetic fields Thearpy
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) is a non-invasive and non-thermal treatment used to stimulate muscle regeneration, resulting in increased muscle mass and strength.
Sham Therapy
Sham thearpy will be delivered using the BIXEPS system (QuantumTX, Singapore).
