Study Overview
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.
