Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Improvement of muscle strength symmetry for knee extension, abduction and lateral hip rotation, measured from the torque peak register (N m) of the isometric knee extension movement at 60 ° by means of the lafayette hand dynamometer held ®, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.<br>Improvement of hip and knee biomechanics analyzed from the noraxon® motion analysis system using the step down test.

Secondary Outcome Measures
