Summary

Hypothesis: Dry needling in lower limbs produces a change in function (assessed by the 6 minute walk test, timed up and go, 10 meter walk test and unified scale for Parkinson's disease) and muscle tone (assessed by tonometry and the modified of Modified Ashworth scale(MMAS)) in patients with Parkinson's disease.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the effect of dry needling on function and muscle tone in subjects with Parkinson disease.

The secondary objective is to analyze the longterm effects of dry needling on function and muscle tone in subjects with Parkinson disease.
