Detaljert beskrivelse
Informed Consent: Obtain informed consent from participants before starting the study.
2. Demographic Data Collection: Collect demographic data, including age, sex, height, weight, and medical history.
3. Muscle Strength Assessment: Measure muscle strength using a dynamometer (e.g., handgrip strength or knee extension strength).
4. Muscle Girth Measurement: Measure muscle girth using a flexible measuring tape (e.g., mid-upper arm or thigh circumference).
5. 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT): Conduct the 6MWT to assess physical endurance. Intervention
- NMES Sessions: Administer NMES sessions 2-3 times a week for 4-5 weeks.
- LIRT Sessions: Conduct LIRT exercises 2-3 times a week for 4-5weeks, targeting major muscle groups of upper and lower limb.

5minutes cool-down will be given after allocated interventions to participants of both groups.
Gentle foot massage and stretching relaxation will be included in cool-down.

|---|---|---|
|
Manual muscle testing (MMT) for strength measurement
Tidsramme: baseline to 4 week
|
Muscle strength will be assessed using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) of the plantar flexors and knee extensors based on the Medical Research Council (MRC) 0-5 grading scale.
Each muscle group will be tested twice on the dominant side, and the higher grade will be recorded.
Participants with grades ≤3 will be classified as having low muscle strength, while those with grades ≥4 will be considered to have sufficient strength for participation in low-intensity resistance training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES).
MMT is a reliable and widely used clinical method for muscle strength assessment
