Experimental

Underwater Faradic Stimulation: 4-cell hydrotherapy bath immersion for 20 mins/session, 3 days/week for 4 weeks (12 sessions total). Waveform: Faradic; Pulse Duration: 0-500 µs; Pulse Frequency: 20-50 Hz; Duty Cycle: 2.5s ON / 2.5s OFF; Peak Amplitude: Up to 100 mA (motor threshold).

OTHER

Placebo

Sham Hydrotherapy: Identical positioning and immersion in 4-cell hydrotherapy bath for 20 mins/session, 3 days/week for 4 weeks (12 sessions total). Device display active, output amplitude maintained at 0 mA.
