Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is hoped that the volunteers who make a protocol of exercises at a distance together with telerehabilitation will have a clinical improvement, characterized by an improvement in functional activities (verified by the functional tests and WOMAC questionnaire) and decrease in pain intensity (verified by Analog Visual Scale - EVA), higher than those who only make the protocol. | — |
