Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcomes will be evaluated in two moments: pre and post treatment.<br>- Pain, evaluated by Visual Analogic Scale;<br>- Kinematics of the trunk and lower limb, evaluated during Single Leg Squat;<br>- Function, evaluated by Questionnaires: Anterior Knee Pain Scale and Activities Daily of Living Scale.<br><br>Is expected the reduction of at least 2 pain points at rest and in the activities of daily living after the intervention, when compared to the pre-intervention state, in both groups. However, it is believed that group 2 will have less pain when compared to group 1, after treatment.<br><br>It is expected that when comparing the pre and post-intervention moments, the is flexion anterior of the trunk and the dynamic valgus is lowest in both groups, being the largest reduction in group 2.<br><br>It is believed that after an intervention, a functionality of both groups is greater, being more evidenced in group 2.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The secondary outcome will be evaluated in two moments: pre and post treatment.<br>- Force quadriceps muscles, knee extensor, gluteus medius and lateral rotators. Evaluated by Isometric dynamometer Lafayette Instrument Company)<br><br>It is expected that after treatment, the force will be significantly higher compared to the pre-intervention state, and that group 2 presented better strength when compared to group 1.
