Foot Plantar Pressure Changes After Plantar Dry Needling

December 2, 2020 updated by: EVA MARIA MARTÍNEZ JIMENEZ, Mayuben Private Clinic

Standing Plantar Pressure Changes After Plantar Dry Needling in Flexor Digitorum Brevis

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Bilateral dry needling in Flexor Brevis Digitorum in subjects with latent trigger point
Other: Static footprint
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.
