Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to check the balance effects of dry needling in the Flexor digitorum Brevis
Detailed Description
Eighteen 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 stabilometry variables with eyes open and closed. Measures. Stabilometry will be measured by displacement of the center of pressures in X and Y with eyes open and closed , center of pressure (COP) with eyes open and closed, COP area with eyes open and closed, COP antero-posterior (a-p) and medio-lateral (m-lat) directions with eyes open and closed, and COP speed. Two trials will be recorded for each condition and the order of the conditions will be randomized across subjects, eyes open and eyes closed.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Stabilometry variable center of pressure area before dry needling with closed eyes
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 month
Stabilometry assessment was used and 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 at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of Pressure (COP) area (in milimeters²) with eyes closed.
Stabilometry variable y displacement open eyes before dry needling
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Stabilometry assessment was used and 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 at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in Y (in milimeters) with open eyes.

Stabilometry variable center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction open eyes before dry needling
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 month
Stabilometry assessment was used and 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 at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction (in milimeters/second).
