Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate by means of a Wells bench, with a marked difference in centimeters, expecting to observe whether the use of cryoelongation can be greater than just the use of stretching in relation to the distance in centimeters reached in the bench | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate by means of a goniometric plate, in degrees by goniometry, if cryoelongation will produce greater gain in range of motion. | — |
