Control group (G1)
Suit group (G2)
Suit + VR group (G3):
Exercise group (G4):
Control group (G1): in which the suit shall be switched on, but with the current of all electrodes at 0 mA.
Suit group (G2): will only receive treatment with the neuromodulation suit at the intensity preset by the manufacturer and according to the assessment criteria. The duration of the treatment will be 1 hour. Exopulse Molly Suit with all 58 electrodes active with an intensity of 2 milliamperes (mA) and pulse width of 30 milliseconds (ms)
Suit + VR group (G3): the intervention on this group was carried out in the same way as the suit group. However, the session was different as the participant wore VR glasses besides wearing the suit for an hour. The patient sees the same room he is in and a person performing a series of exercises he must follow as indicated by the video by video and voice commands. As exercise are performed in a laying position the patient must stay in this position for the whole session.
Exercise group: The procedure carried out is the same as in the suit group, but the session performed was a 1-hour session of strength exercise carried out by a certified professional.
