NMES protocol feasibility data

Feasibility	Group
	Control n = 73	NMES n = 76
No of sessions prescribed, n	NA	295
No of sessions performed, n (%)	NA	282 (96)
No of sessions with visible contractions, n (%)	NA	282 (100)
No of sessions per patient	NA	3 [2–5]
Intensity, mA	NA	45.8 ± 8.4
Quality of evoked contraction*	NA	5 [5–5]
Procedure duration (minutes)	NA	34.5 ± 1.8

The duration of the procedure corresponds to the time consumed for the placement of the electrodes, NMES session, and removal of the electrodes

NMES: neuromuscular electrical stimulation; No: number; NA: not applicable; mA: milliamps; n (%) absolute and relative frequency; Variables are reported as mean (± standard deviation) and as median and [interquartile range]
