First posted: 2023-05-25
Enrollment: 36
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 40
Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

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.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Individuals must have latent trigger point in Flexor Brevis Digitorum muscles with no other pathologies

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous lower extremities surgery.
* History of lower extremities injury with residual symptoms (pain, "giving-away" sensations) within the last year.
* Leg-length discrepancy more than 1 cm
* Balance deficits (determined by oral questionnaire regarding falls)
