Healthy; Foot; Dry Needling

Keywords

Stabilometry; Dry needling; Trigger point

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (10)

• Stabilometry variable x displacement open eyes before dry needling

  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 (in milimeters) with open eyes.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 week

• Stabilometry variable y displacement open eyes before dry needling

  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 Y (in milimeters) with open eyes.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 week

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure area open eyes before dry needling

  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 Pressure (COP) area (in milimeters²) with eyes open.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction open eyes before dry needling

  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 center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction (in milimeters/second).

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure speed displacement of the latero-lateral(lat-lat) direction open eyes before dry needling

  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 center of pressure speed displacement of the latero-lateral(lat-lat) direction (in milimeters/second).

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable x displacement before dry needling with closed eyes

  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 (in milimeters) with eyes closed.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable y displacement before dry needling with closed eyes

  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 Y (in milimeters) with closed eyes.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure area before dry needling with closed eyes

  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 Pressure (COP) area (in milimeters²) with eyes closed.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction before dry needling with closed eyes

  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 center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction (in milimeters/second).

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure speed displacement of the latero-lateral(lat-lat) direction before dry needling with closed eyes

  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 center of pressure speed displacement of the latero-lateral(lat-lat) direction (in milimeters/second).

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure area open eyes after intervention

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• Stabilometry variable center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction with open eyes after intervention

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month
