- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Expected Outcome 1: Improvement of pain intensity, assessed by a visual analog scale with a variable of 11 units. Data collected one week before the start of interventions and one week after the end of interventions.;Outcome 1: A significant reduction was observed from pre to posttest in all experimental protocols for pain outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Expected Outcome 2: Evaluate maximal dynamic force by means of an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System 4 Pro®, Biodex Medical Systems Inc., Shirley, NY, USA).;Outcome: It was found in the analysis of maximum dynamic strength and functional strength a significant increase for both variables in relation to the pretest. Between the groups there was no significance. For the pre and post test pain values analyzed, all groups presented significance in pain reduction. However, a moderate effect magnitude was found between treatments in favor of the low intensity and blood flow restriction group. In the peak torque variable, for knee joint extension and flexion, only the low intensity and blood flow restriction group presented significance for the knee extension phase. And no statistical difference was observed for knee flexion in the groups. The present study concludes that regardless of the protocol used, the results were improvement in pain.
