Study on Dry Needling for Better Movement
This study looks at how dry needling (using thin needles to help muscles) can help people with spasticity (muscle stiffness) move better. We will use special tests to check muscle tone and how well you move and do everyday tasks. We want to see if this can be a good way to help people with certain muscle problems.
- **Study Duration:** The study involves only a few visits to the clinic.
- **Eligibility:** Participants must be able to stand and walk on their own and understand instructions.
- **Exclusions:** People with major cognitive issues or recent surgeries can't join.
We are looking for individuals who have a hypertonia score of 2 (a measure of muscle tightness). If you or someone you know fits these criteria and is interested in learning more about how dry needling might help, consider joining this study.
