| Presentation of the expected outcome: Assess pain: Verified by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) method and digital pressure algometry, the (VAS) was developed for the purpose of measuring pain, being widely applied for the purpose of evaluating chronic pain, digital pressure algometry: it aims to evaluate measures related to pain, by means of painful pressure, having a hand pressure support algometer, where we will observe the pain assessed before and after treatment. ;Presentation of the expected outcome: Evaluate Functionality: Using the WOMAC questionnaire method and association of the TUG (Timed Up and Go) with the Wiva @ motion sensor technology, where we will observe the functionality before and after treatment.;Presentation of the expected outcome: Assess quality of life: Using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) instrument method, where we will observe the quality of life before and after treatment.;Presentation of the expected outcome: Evaluate digital thermography: Through the method of digital thermographic analysis, where this is composed of photos for observations of the distributions of the skin temperature, where we will observe in two phases of the treatment, the first will be in the initial phase, before any intervention, and the second phase, used at the end of the treatment. | — |
