Once the informed consent is signed by all participants, a baseline evaluation will be carried out. Randomisation will then be performed by an independent researcher in a computer-generated random sequence. We will consider a 1:1 distribution ratio. The allocation group will be concealed, and it will be sent in an opaque envelope to the physical therapist who will execute the EM. Evaluators and participants will be blinded to group allocation. Double-blinding will reduce the risk of bias.
