Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the perception of pain in the feet, verified by the visual analogue pain assessment scale (VAS), a significant improvement in pain was observed (p=0.01) in the intergroup comparison | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For the assessment of the plantar area and weight distribution on the feet, verified by the baropodometry instrument, no statistically significant difference was observed (p >0.05).;For the assessment of cardiac autonomic dysfunction, verified by the heart rate monitor instrument through the variables of heart rate variability (HRV), no statistically significant difference was observed (p >0.05).;For the evaluation of the muscular electrical activity of the lateral and medial gastrocnemius muscle, selected by the surface electromyography (EMG) instrument through the variables automatic isometric contraction against isotonic maximal (MVIC) and a statistically significant intragroup difference was observed. There was a decrease in the electromyographic signal of the right lateral gastrocnemius muscle (p=0.01) and left lateral gastrocnemius muscle (p=0.03). | — |
