| Résumé : |
Background Dry needling (DN) is reported to decrease pain and improve functional movements yet the mechanisms remain unclear. Changes in muscle tone and other mechanical properties after DN could contribute to these findings but have not been investigated. Objectives Examine EMG and passive mechanical properties of the quadriceps muscle before and after DN. Design EMG, MyotonPro and clinical measurements were taken pre and post DN. Setting Rehabilitation department at Aspetar Sports Medicine Hospital, Qatar. Participants 20 subjects reporting pain and quadriceps muscle tension. Main outcome measures Pain (VAS, measured during a single leg step down), knee flexion range, and passive mechanical properties of the superficial quadriceps were measured using the MyotonPro device. Results Pain decreased (p 0.11, ES = 0.13). Passive mechanical properties were not significantly different in rectus femoris (RF) and VL. Decrement and Resistance of the Vastus Medialis (VM) were significantly decreased (p 0.19). |
