- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method there was a significant reduction in the low frequency (LF) band of heart rate variability[during the transcutaneous electric diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS)];there was a significant increase in the high frequency (HF) band of heart rate variability[during the transcutaneous electric diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS)];According to LF / HF ratio, there was predominance of HF band showing a reduction on it value[during the transcutaneous electric diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS)]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The autonomic predominance of the LF band on the heart returned.[soon after transcutaneous electric diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS)]
