Interventions

PROCEDURE

Therapeutic modalities: Orthotic (Group 1)

participants will be instructed to remove the orthosis only two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon and two hours at night to avoid joint stiffness

PROCEDURE

Therapeutic modalities: LLLT (Group 2)

The LLLT parameters are: * LASER 904nm * P: 1.5W/cm² * 30mV/cm² * Area 2 cm² * 1 Joule por ponto ( in the A1 pulley)

PROCEDURE

Therapeutic modalities: Paraffin (Group 3)

Paraffin will be heated and maintained at 50 ° C. Participants will immerse their affected hand 10 times in heated paraffin, then they will roll up their affected hand in a towel that they will bring, after 20 minutes timed by a trained professional, the subjects will remove the towel and "paraffin glove":
