Plantar pressures and stabilometry effects of ischemic compression in Flexor digitorum brevis muscle Myofascial Trigger Point: A prepost study
Ischemic compression in the Flexor digitorum brevis muscle showed no significant differences in plantar pressures and stabilometry. Other techniques like dry needling indicated worsened balance effects. More studies are required to check significant changes. The results are important because they demonstrate a technique to treat FDB MTrP without repercussions on plantar pressure or balance. NCT06509347 (clinicalTrials.gov) initial release 7/7/24 and last release 28/7/24.
