Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to check the effects of dry needling in the Flexor digitorum Brevis .

Conditions

Healthy; Foot; Dry Needling

Keywords

Stabilometry; Platform; Dry needling; trigger point

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Static footprint

  Static footprint will measure plantar presures and surface area of rear food, midfoot and fore foot. Subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. During all the examinations, the upper limbs were placed in a relaxed position along the body. The subjects were instructed to stand as still as possible for 30 s, with their eyes open, while concentrating on a point at eye level 2-m away or with their eyes open.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variables eyes open

  Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in X and Y with open eyes, Center of Pressure (COP) area and anteroposterior(a-p) and mediolateral directions: COP speed.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variables eyes closed

  Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in X and Y with closed eyes, Center of Pressure (COP) area and anteroposterior(a-p) and mediolateral directions: COP speed.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Static footprint after intervention

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variables eyes open after intervention

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variables eyes closed after intervention

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month
