Foot Plantar Pressure Changes After Plantar Dry Needling

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Flat foot grade II or II with
  • Must have latent trigger point in Flexor Brevis Digitorum muscles

Treatment and study plan

Static footprint

Other

The static footprint will measure the plantar pressures and surface area of the back of the foot, midfoot and forefoot. 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 30 degrees from the midline.

Primary outcomes

  1. Variables of plantar pressures with platform before dry puncture

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week

    During 30 seconds we will record the plantar pressure variables in grams per square centimeter.

  2. Variable footprint plantar surface with platform before dry puncture

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week

    For 30 seconds we will record the area of the footprint in square centimeters.

  3. Variables of plantar pressures with platform after dry puncture

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week

    During 30 seconds we will record the plantar pressure variables in grams per square centimeter.

  4. Variable footprint plantar surface with platform after dry puncture

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week

    For 30 seconds we will record the area of the footprint in square centimeters.
