Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Torque Torque will be measured using an isokinetic dynamometer. Torque will be registered in Newton meter [N.m] During 4 seconds of electrical stimulation No
Secondary Discomfort Discomfort will be measured using a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from zero (no discomfort) to 10 (worst discomfort imaginable). During 6 seconds of electrical stimulation No
