No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators aim to determine if dry needling technique in a non myofascial trigger point area generate the same changes in spasticity, function and pain responses as with dry needling in a myofascial trigger point area.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Dry needling in a myofascial trigger points area plus physical therapy based on Bobath concept

Other: Dry Needling Participants will receive dry needling application over a myofascial trigger point by an experienced physical therapist with clinical experience in neurological patients, that will be inserted into taut bands of the following shoulder spastic muscles (when a trigger point was present): upper trapezius, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and deltoid anterior. Other: Physical Therapy Participants will receive physical therapy treatment based on the modulating Bobath technique. This technique will be applied using the general parameters, carrying out similar action protocols with every patient, based on the aim of normalizing upper limb muscle tone. Device: stainless steel needles (0.3mm x 50mm)
