Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Changes in physiological properties of the electrode-skin contact, during<br /><br>multiday NMES sessions.<br /><br>Primary endpoint:<br /><br>- Condition of the skin, measured in categories of dermal response.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary parameters:<br /><br>- Series resistance (electrode + skin resistance)<br /><br>- Electrode adhesion<br /><br>- The difference in electrode resistance and capacitance before and after 5<br /><br>days of use<br /><br>- Change in stimulus effect during multiday use of the same electrodes,<br /><br>measured as:<br /><br>- Maximal comfortable stimulation intensity<br /><br>- Sensitivity to stimulation<br /><br>- Abdominal muscle contraction, measured with ultrasound</p><br>
