Dry needling in a myofascial trigger points area plus physical therapy based on Bobath concept
"Other: Dry Needling Participants will receive dry needling application over a myofascial trigger point by an experienced physical therapist with clinical experience in neurological patients, that will be inserted into taut bands of the following shoulder spastic muscles (when a trigger point was present): upper trapezius, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and deltoid anterior.~Other: Physical Therapy~Participants will receive physical therapy treatment based on the modulating Bobath technique. This technique will be applied using the general parameters, carrying out similar action protocols with every patient, based on the aim of normalizing upper limb muscle tone.~Device: stainless steel needles (0.3mm x 50mm)"
Dry needling in a non myofascial trigger points area plus physical therapy based on Bobath concept
"Other: Dry Needling Participants will receive dry needling application carried out over a non trigger point area by an experienced physical therapist with clinical experience in neurological patients, that will be inserted into a non trigger point spastic muscle of the shoulder area: upper trapezius, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and deltoid anterior.~Other: Physical Therapy Participants will receive physical therapy treatment based on the modulating Bobath technique.
