Exclusion criteria: Patients submitted to meniscal suture, asymmetric varus alignment above 10 degrees, degrees III and IV cartilage lesions (ICRS) in femoral condyles and (or) tibial plateaus; history of knee surgery; associated capsular-ligamentary lesions: posterolateral, medial collateral ligament in grade III and posterior cruciate ligament.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 Improvement of muscle strength symmetry for knee extension and flexion movements, measured from the peak torque (N m) recording of the knee concentric extension movement at 60 ° / s by means of the Biodex System dynamometer 4 Pro®.;Expected outcome 2 Improvement of the sensorimotor capacity, measured from the Y Balance Test and the Single Leg Hop Test.;Expected outcome 3 Improvement in subjective functionality, measured by means of the Lysholm Questionnaire. | — |
Secondary
