Item Flexor Digitorum Brevis Muscle Dry Needling Changes Surface and Plantar Pressures: A Pre-Post Study(Life, 2021) Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena; San Antolín Gil, Marta; López-López, Daniel; Romero-Morales, Carlos; Benito de Pedro, María; Calvo Lobo, César; Becerro de Bengoa Vallejo, RicardoBackground: The effects of the dry needling technique and pain reduction have been demonstrated in numerous quality studies. However, the mechanical effects of dry needling are largely unknown. Methods: A total of 18 subjects with flexor digitorum brevis muscle myofascial trigger point were evaluated pre- and post-deep dry needling. We measured static footprint variables in a pre–post study. Main findings: We found differences in rearfoot maximum pressure (119.22–111.63 KPa; p = 0.025), midfoot maximum pressure (13.68–17.26 KPa; p = 0.077), midfoot medium pressure (4.75–6.24 KPa; p = 0.035) and forefoot surface (86.58–81.75 cm2; p = 0.020). All variables with significant differences decrease, with the exception of forefoot surface which showed an increase. Conclusions: After flexor digitorum brevis muscle dry needling, midfoot plantar pressures (maximum and medium) and forefoot surface were increased, and rearfoot maximum pressure was decreased.Item Effect of the cushioning running shoes in ground contact time of phases of gait(Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials., 2018) Roca Dols, Andrea; Losa Iglesias, Marta Elena; Sánchez Gómez, Rubén; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; López López, Daniel; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Calvo Lobo, CésarThe main objective of this research was to know how five different cushioning shoes may interfere in ground contact times of each gait phase of walking and running in contrast with barefoot condition. Thirty healthy sport recreational male runners participated in this study. They played over a treadmill wearing minimalist, Boost®, Ethyl-vinyl-acetate (EVA), Air® chamber and pronation-control cushioning shoes technologies and under barefoot condition, recording the last 30 s of walking and running at 5.17 km/h and 9 km/h respectively, while ground contact time duration of each phase of gait was recorded with circular standard pressure sensors located on plantar feet. During walking, the heel contact phase was the station that increased significantly ground contact times wearing all sole cushioning shoes (p < 0.001), excepting no sole shoes (minimalist), versus barefoot condition, being Air® chamber the model that showed the highest times of contact floor versus barefoot (0.28 ± 0.08 ms and 0.23 ± 0.12 ms vs 0.12 ± 0.07 ms and 0.18 ± 0.07 ms in heel contact during midstance phases, respectively). During running, propulsion phase was the station that showed the highest spent times on ground contact with the floor under all shoe conditions, even with minimalist, being again Air® chamber the model with higher significant times in two of three phases versus barefoot (0.11 ± 0.04 ms and 0.16 ± 0.11 ms vs 0.09 ± 0.03 ms and 0.10 ± 0.02 ms in midstance and propulsion phases respectively). Air chamber® was the model too with the most switch ratio to forefoot strike pattern (0.07 ± 0.10 ms to 0.16 ± 0.11 from heel contact to propulsion phase, respectively). In conclusion, a ground contact times increase using all cushioning running shoes compared with barefoot condition was shown in both walking and running test.Item Effects of Myofascial Induction Therapy on Ankle Range of motion and Pressure Pain Threshold in trigger points of the gastrocnemius. A clinical trial.(Biomedicines, 2023) Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Jiménez Fernández, Raquel; Corral Liria, Inmaculada; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Calvo Lobo, César; López López, Daniel; Pérez Boal, Eduardo; Trevissón Redondo, Bibiana; Grande del Arco, JessicaBackground: The myofascial induction technique (MIT) has been shown to increase shoulder range of motion (ROM) in breast cancer survivors and decrease pain pressure threshold over the radial nerve in patients with epicondylalgia. To the authors’ best knowledge, no study on trigger points and MIT has been published to date. The effect on ROM of latent trigger points is also unknown. Methods: A total of 20 twins with one latent trigger point of the gastrocnemius muscle were evaluated pre- and post-MIT in the calf. We measured static footprint variables in a pre–post study. Results: We found differences in PPT (p = 0.001) and no differences in ROM with knee flexed (p = 0.420) or stretched (p = 0.069). Conclusions: After Calf MIT, latent myofascial trigger points improve PPT but no change in ankle dorsiflexion with knee bent or knee flexed were found in non-restriction healthy subjects.Item Pressure and Traction technique improve Postural Control more than tactile stimulation in foot plantar fascia. A randomized single-blind trial.(Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2020) Losa Iglesias ,Marta Elena; Díaz Velázquez, José Ignacio; Palomo López, Patricia; López López, Daniel; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Calvo Lobo, CésarObjective To check the acute effects of manual pressure and traction technique on balance and plantar footprint variables. Design A single-blind clinical study with 2 groups. Setting Private practice. Participants Healthy participants (N=40; 28 female and 12 male) were recruited to carry out a single-blind study. Interventions Experimental group performed a bilateral plantar fascia manual pressure and traction technique. Control group performed a tactile stimulation. The position of the participant, the therapist, and the time of application of the techniques (5min) were the same for both interventions. Main Outcome Measures We measured stabilometry variables and static footprint. The footprint variables were divided in rear, middle, and front foot areas. Results Significant differences were found in stabilometry variables. There was an improvement in experimental group at X displacement with eyes open (P=.014) and surface eyes closed (P=.046) variables. Conclusions After technique the experimental group improved the stabilometry variables, specifically surface with eyes closed and X displacement with eyes open. The static footprint variables have not shown differences after the technique compared with the control group. Section snippets Participant characteristics Forty healthy participants (28 female and 12 male) were recruited to carry out a single-blind clinical study. The Ethics Committee of the University approved the study, number authorization 2111201814518, and all participants had to sign an informed consent. The protocol of this study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (No.: NCT03997955). The standards and guidelines recommended in the Council of Europe Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine UNESCO Universal, the Declaration on the Human Results Subjects were 39.42±10.41 years old, had height of 167.65±8.39 cm, and weight of 67.72±9.11 kg. Table 1 shows all demographic data. A total of 24 of the 38 variables did not follow a normal distribution. Parametric tests were used in these variables. No results were obtained with statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group at baseline before therapy (table 2). There were statistically significant differences between the groups after therapy in the Discussion This study uses a pressure platform to measure the immediate effects of the manual pressure and traction technique of the plantar fascia on the static footprint and stabilometry compared with an active control group. After technique, the experimental group improved the stabilometry variables correctly, surface with eyes closed and X displacement with eyes open with significant differences. The static footprint variables have not shown differences after the technique compared with the control Conclusions Manual pressure and traction technique of the plantar fascia improved the stabilometry variables, surface with eyes closed and X displacement with eyes open. The static footprint variables have not shown differences after the technique compared with the control of tactile stimulation.Item The reliability, Validity and Sensitivity Measures of Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) in older adults patiens with foot disorders(Aging, 2020) Navarro Flores, Emanuel; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Losa Iglesias. Marta Elena; Palomo López, Patricia; Calvo Lobo, César; López López, Daniel; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Romero Morales, CarlosThe Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) is an index employed to measure alterations related to frailty. The main objective in this research was to develop the EFS short-form (EFS-SF) and to evaluate its validity, reliability, and sensitivity to predict frailty disability outcomes in elderly patients with foot disabilities. Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the EFS-SF revealed the presence of three components, as in the original EFA. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the study population for several of the EFS and 5-item FRAIL scale indicators. The highest correlation (Pearson R = 0.871; p < 0.001) was found for the first component of the EFS-SF. Finally, the Cronbach alpha was 0.864 which indicated a high level of internal consistency. Conclusion: The EFS-SF is a reliable and valid instrument to measure frailty in patients with and without foot disabilities. Method: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out. The study population was aged over 60 years (n = 66) and comprised 29 men and 37 women. Frailty disorders were registered by using the EFS, 5-item FRAIL scale, and the Geriatricians’ Clinical Impression of Frailty (GCIF) scale. EFA was employed to locate potential constituents of the EFS, with scores ranging from 0.596 to 0.946 for each of the sub scales: (1) cognitive and general health status; (2) medication and nutrition status; and (3) functional and physiological status, thus revealing that the EFS-SF comprised three components, a reduction compared to the nine in the original EFS.Item Dry needling of the flexor digitorum brevis muscle reduces postural control in standing: A pre-post stabilometric study.(Journal of Anatomy, 2023) Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Losa Iglesias, Marta Elena; Mazoteras Pardo Victoria; López López, Daniel; Pereiro Buceta, Héctor; Calvo Lobo, César; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Navarro Flores EmmanuelThere are studies that show the better balance after dry needling in lumbar pain. However, the postural control effects after foot dry needling are unknown. Our objective was to check if dry needling reduces postural control. Eighteen subjects with flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle Myofascial trigger point were evaluated pre- and post-deep dry needling. We measured stabilometric variables in a pre-post study. We have found significant differences in three stabilometric variables: surface with eyes closed (29.36–53.21 mm2) (p = 0.000), medium speed of the laterolateral displacement with eyes closed (1.42–1.64 mm/s) (p = 0.004), and medium speed of the anteroposterior displacement with eyes closed (1.30–1.53 mm/s) (p = 0.025). Dry needling therapy application in FDB muscle reduces standing postural control with eyes closed.Item The reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) in older adults with foot disorders(Aging, 2020) Navarro Flores, Emmanuel; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Losa Iglesias, Marta Elena; Palomo López, Patricia; Calvo Lobo, César; López López, Daniel; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Romero Morales, CarlosThe Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) is an index employed to measure alterations related to frailty.
