Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Delay time change	Time between an electric impulse and 10% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Primary	Contraction time change	Time between 10% and 90% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Primary	Sustain time change	time between 50% of the contraction and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Primary	Relaxation time change	time between 90% and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Primary	Maximal displacement change	Maximal displacement of the muscle after being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Primary	Stiffness change	Resistance to an external force that deforms its initial shape, using a "Myoton" (Newtons/metre).	2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Primary	Elasticity change	Capacity to recover its initial shape after the removal of the external force that lead to its deformation, using a "Myoton" (logarithmic decrement of a tissue's natural oscillation).	2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Primary	Relaxation change	Time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after the removal of an external force, using a "Myoton" (miliseconds).	2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Secondary	Gastrocnemious strength change	Isometric strength of the gastrocnemious muscles using a handheld dynamometer "microFET 2" (newtons).	8 minutes before the intervention, 1 minute after the intervention and 30 minutes later
