Abstract
[Abstract] There are studies that show the better balance after dry needling in lumbar pain.
However, the postural control effects after foot dry needling are unknown. Our
objective
was to check if dry needling reduces postural control. Eighteen subjects with
flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle Myofascial trigger point were evaluated pre-and
post-deep
dry needling. We measured stabilometric variables in a pre-post
study. We
have found significant differences in three stabilometric variables: surface with eyes
closed (29.36–53.21
mm2) (p = 0.000), medium speed of the laterolateral displacement
with eyes closed (1.42–1.64
mm/s) (p = 0.004), and medium speed of the anteroposterior
displacement with eyes closed (1.30–1.53
mm/s) (p = 0.025). Dry needling therapy
application in FDB muscle reduces standing postural control with eyes closed.
