Consistently supervised, video-guided WB-EMS application 1.5 times per week for 28 weeks. Bipolar electric current with a frequency of 85Hz, an impulse-width of 350 µs will be used in an interval approach with 6 sec of EMS stimulation with a direct impulse boost and 4 sec of rest. Low intensity movements or exercises in a standing position were performed during the 6 s stimulation period.

Six standardised physiotherapy sessions (20 min each)
