An interventional study of Treadmill exercise in Physical Therapy Modalities, Pain Measurement and Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial, sponsored by Becerra, Pablo. Terminated at 1 site in Chile. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-01-31.

Ankle fractures are one of the main causes of hospitalization due to injuries in Chile, which also have a discharge and partial load time of approximately 12 weeks in the recovery process. This generates disuse and atrophy of the posterior musculature of the leg called the triceps sural, which makes it difficult to restart and perform the gait. We conducted this research because practically all patients with this type of diagnosis have trigger points in these muscles, and dry needling technique is one of the best for its treatment, but has the disadvantage that it produces post dry needling pain of 48 hours and there is not enough information, or consensus on which method is better to reduce post dry needling pain. This study aims to prove wich technique is most useful in reducing pain post dry needling for the treatment of trigger points in the triceps sural muscle in ankle post fracture patients.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients remained in the supine position for 20 minutes lying on a stretcher after dry needling.
The patients walked on a treadmill for 20 minutes after dry needling, with an inclination of 5 degrees and at a speed at which the perceived exertion was 5 according to the Borg CR10 scale (Chen et al., 2002).
Other: Treadmill exercise
the patients walked on a treadmill for 20 minutes after dry needling, with an inclination of 5 degrees and at a speed at which the perceived exertion was 5 according to the Borg CR10 scale (Chen et al., 2002)
Also known as: Treadmill after dry needling
Perceived pain intensity
Pain will be measured by the Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS) from 0 to 10, where higher values represent a worse outcome.
Time frame: Change from baseline (baseline and immediately after treatment)
Ankle Range of Motion (ROM)
It is the degree of angular movement allowed by the ankle joint measured by kinovea.
Time frame: Change from baseline (baseline and immediately after treatment)
Muscular strength of triceps sural
By means of the heel rise test, the patient must perform a bipodal plantiflexion measured in the maximum number of repetitions in 30 seconds.
Time frame: Change from baseline (baseline and immediately after treatment)
