Interventions/Control_1

In the B-SES group, B-SES is administered once daily, five days a week (Monday through Friday). Preparation and removal of the B-SES take 5 minutes, with a stimulation time of 15 minutes, totaling 20 minutes per session. Regarding rehabilitation time during the intervention period, the B-SES group will undergo 100 minutes of regular rehabilitation plus 20 minutes of B-SES on 5 days per week (Monday through Friday). On 2 days per week (Saturday and Sunday), they will undergo 120 minutes of regular rehabilitation.

Interventions/Control_2

The control group undergoes approximately 120 minutes of standard rehabilitation daily.
