## 3 Results  
A total of 45 participants participated in the pilot study, with 15 participants in each of the MT1, MT2, and C groups. However, during the study, one participant from the control group developed pneumonia, resulting in 44 participants completing the study. Functional improvements over time were assessed using several validated scales, including the FIM, Barthel, Tinetti, SPPB, and Berg scales. The results demonstrated a general trend of improvement across all these measures, reflecting enhanced functional abilities among the participants. These findings have been visualized in detail in Figure 2, which consolidates the results from all five scales into one figure. Each scale's outcomes are represented in separate charts within the figure, labeled as follows: FIM outcomes in chart A, Barthel Index results in chart B, Tinetti scale data in chart C, SPPB scores in chart D, and Berg scale findings in chart E.  
Changes in CRP and PCT concentrations between measurement points are presented in Figure 3. In this case, an improvement was also observed across all groups, reflected in the reduction of these marker concentrations between the first and the final measurement. Figure 2: Change in scores of functional assessment scales observed in all groups between measurement points. (**A**) FIM outcomes, (**B**) Barthel Index outcomes, (**C**) Tinetti scale outcomes, (**D**) SPPB outcomes, and (**E**) Berg Balance scale outcomes. Based on the presented results, significant differences were observed in the parameters of the studied groups (MT1, MT2, and C) over time. The most notable changes for the CRP were observed in the T2-T0 difference, with a mean of \(-6.36\) in the MT1 group, \(-8.82\) in the MT2 group, and \(0.54\) in the C group. The results of the measured parameters for each group at different time points are presented in Table 1. Individual data obtained from each participant in this study have been compiled into Table S1 and are provided in the Supplementary Materials section. \begin{table}

Figure 3: Change in CRP (**A**) and PCT (**B**) concentrations observed in all groups between measurement points. During the study period, none of the patients required the procedure to be stopped, nor did they report any discomfort related to the treatment, and no adverse outcomes have been reported. All patients willingly participated in the procedures. No adverse changes were observed in the blood morphological elements, kidney, or liver function among the participants during the study period (Table 2).
