Figure 2 (a) Standardised mean difference (95% CI) of effect of electrical stimulation versus nothing/placebo on strength immediately after intervention (n=359). (b) Standardised mean difference (95% CI) of effect of electrical stimulation versus nothing/placebo on strength beyond the intervention period (n=211).
