Virtual Reality

EXPERIMENTAL

\- Participate in this group 20 women to be treated by means of games Xbox 360 ®, attributed to this, custom applications using virtual and augmented reality to be developed.

Other: virtual reality

Vibration therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

\- participate in this group 20 women who will undergo 15 minutes of continuous vibration by vibration of the upper mantle, with a frequency of 40 Hz, 3 function and intensity tolerable, keeping the limb supported and raised to 120 °.

Other: virtual reality

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

\- participate in this group 20 women who are treated with conventional cinesioterapia through muscle stretching exercises, dissociation girdle, active and active-assisted exercises for groups flexors, extensors, abductors and adductors of the upper limbs, which will be three series 10 repetitions for each exercise.

Other: virtual reality
