Study 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.

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.
