Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
exercise group
An exercise protocol drawn up with the objective will be held to strengthen the musculature: flexor and extensor of the knee; extension, abduction, hip side rotator, using the weight and the elastic band.
exercise
exercises designed with the objective of strengthening the musculature: flexor and extensor of the knee; extensor, abductor, lateral rotator of the hip.
exercise group + Ultrasound therapy
Apart from intervening in the exercise group, an ultrasound device is used .
exercise
exercises designed with the objective of strengthening the musculature: flexor and extensor of the knee; extensor, abductor, lateral rotator of the hip.
Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound (US) is a form of mechanical energy, not electrical energy and therefore strictly speaking, not really electrotherapy at all but does fall into the Electro Physical Agents grouping.
exercise group + interferential current
Besides the intervention of the exercise group after the exercises will be applied to interferential current through the device. Will be positioned 4 electrodes (8x5 cm), two upper and two lower (forming a square) around the center of the knee.
exercise
exercises designed with the objective of strengthening the musculature: flexor and extensor of the knee; extensor, abductor, lateral rotator of the hip.
interferential current
The basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency (\<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stimulation
exercise group + short-wave diathermy
Besides the intervention of the exercise group after the exercises will be applied diathermies short wave in continuous mode. For that will be used apparatus, 27.12 megahertz, by means of vulcanized rubber electrodes (12x17 cm) with gentle warming for 30 minutes.
exercise
exercises designed with the objective of strengthening the musculature: flexor and extensor of the knee; extensor, abductor, lateral rotator of the hip.
short-wave diathermy
Is a modality that produces deep heating via conversion of electromagnetic energy to thermal energy
exercise group + Low level laser therapy
Apart from intervening in the exercise group, will be applied to Low level laser therapy, through the laser unit, Class 3b, gallium-aluminum-arsenide, continuous mode, wavelength: 830 nanometer, power: 30 watts.
exercise
exercises designed with the objective of strengthening the musculature: flexor and extensor of the knee; extensor, abductor, lateral rotator of the hip.
Low level laser therapy
Laser treatment in which the energy output is low enough so that the temperature of the treated tissue does not rise above 98.6°F (36.5° C) or normal body temperature.
