| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 will be obtained through sensitivity assessment using the Semmes Weinstein Monofilament instrument; It is expected to find improvement in plantar sensitivity compared between groups and between times for the experimental group;Expected outcome 2 will be obtained by evaluating the distribution, plantar pressure and body sway using the Baropodometry and Stabilometry instrument; It is expected to find balance between the center of mass of the body and better distribution and pressure of the plantar areas in comparison between groups and between times for the experimental group;Expected outcome 3 will be obtained by evaluating the electrical activity of the muscle using the surface Electromyography instrument; It is expected to find a reduction in the electrical activity pattern of the analyzed muscles in comparison between groups and between times in the experimental group | — |
