Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to check the effects of dry needling in the Flexor digitorum Brevis. Twenty healthy subjects wil be recruited for a quasi-experimental study. Participants will be from 18 to 40 years old, not obese. Participants will be measured before and after bilateral dry neddling in Flexor digitorum Brevis. The investigators will measure static footprint variables. The footprint variables will be divided in bilateral rear foot, bilateral midfoot, bilateral fore foot.

Conditions

Myofascial Pain Syndrome; Foot Diseases

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Variables of plantar pressures with platform before dry puncture

  During 30 seconds we will record the plantar pressure variables in grams per square centimeter.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 week

• Variable footprint plantar surface with platform before dry puncture

  For 30 seconds we will record the area of the footprint in square centimeters.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 week

• Variables of plantar pressures with platform after dry puncture

  During 30 seconds we will record the plantar pressure variables in grams per square centimeter.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 week

• Variable footprint plantar surface with platform after dry puncture

  For 30 seconds we will record the area of the footprint in square centimeters.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 week

Study Arms (1)

Bilateral dry needling in Flexor Brevis Digitorum in subjects with latent trigger point

EXPERIMENTAL

Bilateral dry needling in Flexor Brevis Digitorum in subjects with latent trigger point

Other: Static footprint

Interventions

Static footprint OTHER

The static footprint will measure the plantar pressures and surface area of the back of the foot, midfoot and forefoot. 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 30 degrees from the midline.
