Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that there is an improvement in tissue integrity score values of the feet, after treatment by means of a scale that consists of 20 indicators grouped into five constructs: skin and attached, blood circulation, sensitivity, tissue temperature and pressure plant. The scale values are measured on 5-point Likert form where 1 refers to extremely compromised; 2, substantially compromised; 3, moderately compromised; 4, slightly compromised; and 5, not compromised. Thus, the higher the score, the lower the commitment (SILVA et al., 2013);There was improvement in scores related to skin and attachment and sensitivity | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that there is improvement in the treated group of biological markers related sensitivity (using monofilament test Semmes-Weinstein), temperature plant (through thermal image) plantar pressure (through use of baropodometry) and glucose blood (through the capillary glucose);There was an improvement only in the biological marker of tissue temperature | — |
