Maillefert (56) Maximum tolerated up to 60 mA 10 Hz (200 msec), duty cycle 20 sec on, 20 sec off Biphasic 1 hr each limb 5 days/wk for 5 wk Increased muscle volume Increased walk distance Increased V02max Increased anaerobic threshold Improved NYHA functional class 

Quittan (57) 25-35% of 50 Hz (0.7 msec). Symmetric Up to 60 min/day Increased muscle strength 

Harris (77) Set to create visible contraction as tolerated 25 Hz, 5 sec on, 5 sec off Not specified 30 min each limb 5 days/wk for 6 wk Increased walking endurance Increased muscle strength Reduced muscle fatigue
