Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The perception of pain through the Visual Analogue Scale (EVA). This variable has been obtained through a validated scale of 10 centimeters (0-10), where the subject self-positioned from absence of pain to the worst bearable pain[Two evaluations were performed by physiotherapists: before the intervention and when the intervention was finished (after 10 sesions).<br>Our objective is to study the effects on the short term.];The functional disability, quantified by means of the tests: Kujala Score.[Two evaluations were performed by physiotherapists: before the intervention and when the intervention was finished (after 10 sesions).<br>Our objective is to study the effects on the short term.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
In addition an anthropometric study of knee joint range of movement will be performed. Evaluating the Active and Pasive Knee's Range of Movement using universal goniometer measurement. we pay special attention to the possible restrictions in the normal range of motion.[Two evaluations were performed by physiotherapists: before the intervention and when the intervention was finished (after 10 sesions).<br>Our objective is to study the effects on the short term.];Functional Scale of the Lower Extremity (LEFS)[Two evaluations were performed by physiotherapists: before the intervention and when the intervention was finished (after 10 sesions).<br>Our objective is to study the effects on the short term.]
