Participant flow through the study. Participant identification based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by phone screening by research clinician. Baseline assessment and device training were completed upon first visit to the research setting. During each of the 15 training sessions, participants completed three sets, consisting of approximately six to eleven trials of sine, triangle, and random rectangle waveforms (40 seconds), in order, lasting four–seven minutes each. A short rest period of up to five minutes was allowed between each set to prevent muscle fatigue.
