Effects on Plantar Support After Deep Dry Needling in Posterior Tibial Muscle

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Movement Disorders
• Interventions: Procedure: Deep dry needling in tibialis posterior; Procedure: Sham technique in tibialis posterior

• Registration Number: NCT03756428
• Lead Sponsor: Cardenal Herrera University

Brief Summary

This study aims to analyze the changes in plantar support after the technique of deep dry puncture in the posterior tibial. The data will be analyzed by a baropodometer which will record the possible changes in the footprint. The investigator will perform a pre-intervention measurement and 3 post-intervention measurements (immediately after the intervention, at 24 hours and at 72 hours)
