Brief Summary
The knee joint is commonly used and also stricken by high loads and injuries in sports. One technique in emphasis is cryotherapy, a physiotherapeutical intervention characterized by the use of low temperatures for tissue trauma's rehabilitation. Several studies analysed the effects of cryotherapy and brought important results related to pain and strength reduction, also to muscle contraction speed reduction. Although, considering the risk-benefit from de intervention it's pertinent to observe the presence of deleterious effects, especially the ones that impact on motor function. This scenario has been brought by scientists and currently the main gap from this theme resides on the repercussions of the technique application on functional answers
