About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Effect of FES Versus No FES intervention. A statistically significant between-group difference in activity in favor of FES was reported for all 3 studies, immediately after the intervention period. This difference represented a 30% to 32% greater increase in activity compared with no FES intervention. A follow-up measurement was reported for 1 study, but no data were reported.

Effect of FES Versus Activity Training. Both studies reported a statistically nonsignificant between-group difference in activity compared with activity training, immediately after the intervention period. One study included a follow-up measurement, but no data were reported
