Dynamic Plantar Pressures Changes After Dry Needling in Flexor Digitorum Brevis Versus Non Emission Laser

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Flatfoot
• Interventions: Other: Bilateral non emission Laser in latent trigger points of the Flexor digitorum Brevis Muscle; Other: Bilateral dry needling in latent trigger points of the Flexor digitorum Brevis Muscle

• Registration Number: NCT05875415
• Lead Sponsor: Mayuben Private Clinic

Brief Summary

Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a dry needling intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the dynamic footprint variables.

Detailed Description

Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a dry needling intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the dynamic footprint variables of the first step of both feet.
