简要总结
The main objective of this study will be to evaluate the effects of the application of the dry needling technique on the activity of the rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder.
The evaluation of the effects of the application of the dry needling technique will be carried out in subjects with and without shoulder pain.To do this, muscle strength, possible thickness changes in the muscle and electromyographic activity will be measured before and immediately after the application of a dry needling technique.
Likewise, other variables will be measured such as the pressure pain threshold (PPT), pain with a Numeric Verbal Scale, kinesiophobia and catastrophism, the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and the influence of expectations about dry needling.

研究组 & 干预措施
Real dry needling
With the subject lying supine, a dry needling technique will be applied to the infraspinatus muscle.
干预措施: Real dry needling
Sham dry needling
With the subject lying supine, a sham dry needling technique will be applied to the infraspinatus muscle, simulating the real procedure.
干预措施: Sham dry needling
结局指标
主要结局
Muscle strength
时间窗: Change from Baseline at 15 minutes.
The isometric strength will be assessed using a handheld dynamometer (Hand held dynamometer, MicroFET3; Hoggan Health Industries Inc.). The strength measures will included external rotation at 90° abduction in the prone position. The dynamometer will be placed just proximal to the just proximal to the styloid process of the wrist joint. Subjects will be asked to produce a 5-second maximal contraction. Muscular strength will be measured in kilograms
