Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study aims to examine the mechanical changes following dry needling of the quadriceps muscle.

To this end, structural and mechanical changes in quadriceps muscle activity will be measured using M-mode ultrasound.

The quadriceps muscle strength will also be assessed with dynamometry. In addition, the knee joint range will be checked by means of a goniometry procedure.

The subjects will be assessed before and after the application of a dry needling technique on the quadriceps muscle to determine possible changes in the measured variables.

Quadriceps muscle dry needling

The Quadriceps muscle will be punctured with ultrasound control

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The quadriceps muscle will be punctured with ultrasound control

Intervention Type OTHER

With the subject in the supine position, the quadriceps muscle will be shown by ultrasound. Subsequently, a dry needling technique will be performed at the most hyperalgesic point using ultrasound control.
