Interventions/Control_1

Intervention Group: In addition to following a standard exercise therapy programme similar to the control group, the NMES group will also receive NMES. The NMES treatment will be administered using the ESPURGE device (Ito Co., Ltd.). The electrode pads will be placed on the quadriceps muscles of both legs. The NMES treatment will be applied for 30 minutes per session, five days a week, for a total of 10 days. The frequency settings will be 50Hz and a pulse width of 200~300 usec.

Interventions/Control_2

Control Group: Based on the criteria for discontinuation of cancer rehabilitation and under the direction of a physician, the control group will focus on strength training, range of motion exercises, basic movement exercises, and activities of daily living training.
