Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
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
NameTimeMethod
Change of muscle toneChange 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.
