neuromuscular electrical stimulation
The application technique used will be bipolar, with electrodes of the type metal-tipped pen. The electrodes will be placed at the outer edges of the ulcer, on opposite sides of the same and the estimated time of 1 minute at each point. All the edge of the ulcer will be bypassed, thereby separating the injections every 1 cm, returning to the starting point at the end of the application. To ensure that the entire edge of the ulcer to receive the stimulation, the end points of the application, the application will be made for another minute sliding the pen around the whole edge. Thus the application time will be directly proportional to the ulcer area. The subjects will be received 10 applications, three times a week for a period of 4 weeks.
