Cryotherapy Associated With Exercise in Pain Control and Physical Function in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis

Summary

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of cryotherapy associated with an exercise protocol in pain control, function and quality of life in individuals with knee osteoarthritis

Conditions

• Osteoarthritis,Knee

Interventions

OTHER

EXERCISE PROTOCOL + CRYOTHERAPY

Protocol: The therapeutic exercise protocol was designed according to the recommendations and guidelines of evidence-based practices and specific randomized clinical trials of physical exercise intervention for Knee osteoarthritis. The suggested parameters for an adequate prescription of physical exercises include the type, application method, intensity, duration, minimum number of sessions and frequency of exercises. Cryotherapy: Crushed ice inside two plastic bags. The positioning of the plastic bags will cover the entire knee surface (Anterior, lateral and posterior region). After the positioning of the ice bags, they will be fixed with an elastic bandage (compression). To protect the skin against frost bites, all the knee surface will be covered with a moistened operative field.
