Study flow chart in accordance with the consolidated standards of reporting trials statement.
A physical therapist reviewed the selection criteria for each participant, provided them with the necessary information, and asked them to sign an informed consent form if they agreed. Another researcher made the assessments throughout the study at baseline (T0), post intervention (T1), and at 1 month follow-up (T2). This researcher was blinded to the assignment group of each subject during all the study. After the first evaluation, this last researcher gave each subject a sealed and opaque envelope in which the statistician had previously included the subject ‘s number and the assigned group. The physiotherapist who applied the treatment after opening the envelope was the only one who knew the group to which each participant belonged.
