Figures & data
Notes: Red dots represent individual subject scores and dotted lines represent mean scores. P<0.0005, statistical significant change from baseline to 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Abbreviations: B, baseline; 3M, 3 months; 6M, 6 months; 9M, 9 months; 12M, 12 months.
Abbreviations: B, baseline; 3M, 3 months; 6M, 6 months; 9M, 9 months; 12M, 12 months.
Notes: Data is shown as mean ± SE. r= Pearson’s correlation coefficient. **P<0.005, *P<0.05 for significant difference from baseline.
Abbreviations: B, baseline; 3M, 3 months; 6M, 6 months; 9M, 9 months; 12M, 12 months; SF-36, Short Form-36; FSS-9, nine-item Fatigue Severity Scale; SE, standard error.

Notes: Upper and lower borders of the boxes represent 25th and 75th percentiles respectively. The line within the boxes represents median and + sign represents mean. The whisker error bars represent minimum and maximum values. Red dots represent each subject’s score.
Abbreviation: NMES, neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
Abbreviation: NMES, neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
Notes:
r, Pearson’s correlation coefficient; rs, Spearman’s correlation coefficient. After excluding data of two subjects (circled dots in C) with much lower baseline EDSS scores than other subjects, correlation stayed moderately positive (rs=0.482, P=0.022).
Abbreviations: EDSS, Expanded Disability Status Scale; MS, multiple sclerosis; PDDS, Patient Determined Disease Steps; FSS-9, nine-item Fatigue Severity Scale.

Notes: Upper and lower borders of the boxes represent 25th and 75th percentiles respectively. The line within the boxes represents median and + sign represents mean. The whisker error bars represent minimum and maximum values. **** represent median values overlapping with upper quartile values. ------ represent lower quartile values overlapping with minimum values. P= significant difference from baseline.

Notes: Red dots represent each subject’s score. In figures A–C, upper and lower borders of the boxes represent 25th and 75th percentiles respectively. The line within the boxes represents median. The whisker error bars represent minimum and maximum values. Overlapping values are indicated in the figure. In figure D, values are mean + SD.
