Placebo group
Treated by a device LED - LED: power 60mW, 627nm wavelength ± 10nm and 1,3cm2 beam output. The energy density used was 10J / cm2 with time of 2 minutes and 47 seconds per flash of the beam, which is unique for each ten points in the lateral region of the ankle edema. The volunteers underwent previous cleaning application points with cotton soaked in 70% alcohol, positioned for high stretcher in the supine position and wearing goggles. The LED was applied in a timely manner, wherein the skin contact surfasse at an angle of 90 °, the ten points were irradiated in a 1cm2 area selected by a single investigator. One session was performed every 24 hours for six consecutive days. Ice applications were made associated with semi-rigid compression bandage, with the patient lying supine and the affected limb in elevation under a foam wedge in the same period.
Both volunteers LED group and the placebo group were treated with the same procedure, with the LED device in the placebo group remained off.
