Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a change in the choice reaction time using the upper and lower limb of electromyography method before the first session and after the 15th session. We will see if at the end of the sessions there was a decrease in the choice reaction time by at least 5%.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a change in the score of the cognitive scales using the tests (1) Trail Making Test and (2) Dgit Span Test, before the first session and after the 15 session. We will see if there was an improvement in the scoring of the scales at the end of the sessions by at least 5% of the total score.
