简要总结
The present study aims to examine the mechanical changes following dry needling of the quadriceps muscle.
To this end, structural and mechanical changes in quadriceps muscle activity will be measured using M-mode ultrasound.
The quadriceps muscle strength will also be assessed with dynamometry. In addition, the knee joint range will be checked by means of a goniometry procedure.
The subjects will be assessed before and after the application of a dry needling technique on the quadriceps muscle to determine possible changes in the measured variables.

研究组 & 干预措施
Quadriceps muscle dry needling
The Quadriceps muscle will be punctured with ultrasound control
干预措施: The quadriceps muscle will be punctured with ultrasound control (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Muscle thickness
时间窗: before and after one week. The muscle thinckness will be measurement in centimeters
Muscle thickness and echo intensity, an indicator of muscle quality, are related to muscle strength, physical function, and muscle mass measured using echographs ultrasound.It will be measured how muscle thickness changes after applying a dry needling technique
次要结局
- Quadriceps muscle strength(before and after one week.)
- knee range of motion (flexion)(before and after one week)
