Mayuben Private Clinic

Status: Completed

Conditions: Flatfoot

Treatments: Other: Bilateral non emission Laser in latent trigger points of the Flexor digitorum Brevis Muscle; Other: Bilateral pressure release in Flexor Brevis Digitorum in subjects with latent trigger point

Study type: Interventional

Details and patient eligibility

About

Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a pressure release 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 stabilometry variables.

Full description

Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a pressure release 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 stabilometry variables with eyes closed and open.
