Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
FES+TE	FES+TE	Participants receiving Functional electrical stimulation (FES) combined with therapeutic exercise (TE)
TE	TE	Participants receiving only therapeutic exercise
REF-FES+TE	REF-FES+TE	Healthy adults (reference group REF) that participate only in 1 session and receive FES and therapeutic exercise
REF-TE	REF-TE	Healthy adults that participate only in 1 session and receive only therapeutic exercise

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change of median power frequency (MPF) and amplitude (A)	Change from baseline measure at 6 weeks	Change of MPF and A is measured after first therapy to assess the baseline values and then after 6 weeks of therapy to assess the effectiveness of intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change of muscle tone	Change from baseline measure at 6 weeks	Muscle oscillation frequency (MOF) is measured to assess muscle tone. Change of MOF is measured after first therapy to assess the baseline values and then after 6 weeks of therapy to assess the effectiveness of intervention.
