PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of shock waves extracorporea in improving body contour,decrease fat localized and appearance of gynoid lipodystrophy.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A prospective and comparative longitudinal clinical study will be performed in 30 women with localized fat and gynoid lipodystrophy. Patients will be submitted data collection and assessments and before and after treatment.

HYPOTHESES: It is expected that the patients will present improvement in the body contour, decrease fat localized and in the picture of the gynoid lipodystrophy after of the therapies.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: A descriptive analysis will be done before and after vibration-oscillatory therapy, with frequency tables for categorical and descriptive variables (mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values) for continuous or numerical variables. In order to compare the main variables between the groups and the collection times, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurements will be used. Tukey's test will be used to compare groups. The level of significance adopted for the statistical tests will be 5% or p <0.05.

After signing the informed consent, the participants will be evaluated by two physiotherapists where the data collected will be personal data, anthropometrics and complementary diagnostic tests, such as: ultrasound diagnosis to evaluate the thickness of the adipose tissue and Cutomiter analysis of the Viscoelasticity of skin. They then started treatment with another physiotherapist who will perform the following study protocol: placing a light layer of neutral gel on the treatment area, applying extracorporeal shock waves with the stainless steel tip with 180mJ of energy totaling 4 thousand shots , in abdomens, buttocks and posterior thigh and 2 thousand shots in flanks, then performs the change of the tip to the plastic and performs 2 thousand shots in the regions of abdomens, buttocks, posterior thigh emil shots in the region of flanks. The protocol will be performed twice a week for 1 and 20 hours each, totaling 10 sessions.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Women older than 18 years of age up to premenopausal age (50 years of age).

The data collected and the results of this study will be shared through scientific papers after the end of the study.

The participants and evaluator are blinded. They will not be informed about the parameters applied in this study.
