Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The volunteers must present between 8 and 12 hours of postpartum cesarean section; having pain on the numerical pain scale = 3 in the region of the cesarean incision7; without clinical or obstetric intercurrences; no infectious process; they should receive the same drug treatment (anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs) with the same intake interval; postpartum woman with communication and expression difficulties to answer the evaluation questions; not presenting disorders and/or neurological alterations; not presenting musculoskeletal disorders and/or alterations; not being sedentary in the evaluation with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Women who give up performing the intervention with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation - TENS; women who give up performing the intervention with the Low Intensity Laser - LBI; volunteers who give up performing the 2 (two) minute walk test during the collection period; volunteers who present clinical and obstetric instability during the collection period

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the volunteer submitted to the intervention, when compared to the control group, will present better functional performance and alteration in the values ??of the cardio-respiratory physiological variables evaluated through the Global Perception of Change Scale (PGIS) with a score of 7 (much better), Measure of Independence Functional (MIF) with a score of 1 (incomplete independence), 2-minute walk test with increased distance walked, improvement in respiratory rate, Borg scale, heart rate, pulse oximetry and systemic blood pressure.

Secondary
