Sponsor's own description
Low-frequency percutaneous electrical stimulation is the application of an electrical current of \<1000Hz through acupuncture needles located on the epineurium of the peripheral nervous system. The hypothesis is that by placing the electrode, needle, closer to the nerve, a greater stimulation of the same will be achieved, thus being able to obtain greater effects. The goal is to determine if this technique has any effect on grip strength in the short term.
