U.S., May 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06964438) titled 'Postoperative Electrical Muscle Stimulation Two' on April 22.

Losing muscle can lead to a reduction in one's ability to perform physical activities, and reduce independence and overall health.
