Summary

Introduction: Little is known about the effects of different cryotherapy techniques for pain and skin surface temperature in patients with anterior knee pain. Objective: To analyze the best technique of cryotherapy intervention to reduce the superficial temperature of the skin and pain of women with anterior pain in the knee. Methodology: The sample will be composed of 12 participants, of the female gender, aged between 18 and 25 years old and complaint of anterior pain in the knee, distributed in cryotherapy groups by ice pack (CPG) (n = 6) and cryotherapy + compression group byGame Ready (CCGR) (n = 6). All will complete the consent form, the sample characterization form, the Visual Analog Pain Scale (EVA) and the Patellofemoral Disorders Scale (AKPS). They will then have the basal temperature of the anterior knee region recorded by thermographic camera and perform five repetitions of the sit and stand test in 30 seconds. The EVA will again respond and the temperature of the anterior knee region will be collected after the test. Subsequently, CPG or CCGR (randomly) will be applied to the anterior region of the knee for 20 minutes. Immediately after the application of cryotherapy, EVA will be applied and will have the skin surface temperature recorded immediately after, and at 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes. Expected results: It is expected to establish if there is difference in pain, surface temperature and skin reheating of women submitted to cryotherapy by ice pack and Game Ready.
