Résumé
The purpose was to examine the immediate effects of dry needling to spastic finger muscles in chronic stroke. Ten chronic stroke patients with spasticity in finger flexors participated in this experiment. Dry needling to the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) muscle was performed under ultrasound guidance for about 30 s (about 100 times). Clinical assessment and intramuscular needle EMG readings were made before and immediately after dry needling. Immediately after needling, the FDS muscle was felt less tight to palpation and the proximal phalangeal joint rested in a less flexed position (
