Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Linear hypertrophic scar tissue with an age of more than six weeks No restrictions on active and passive joint range of motion near the scar tissue Age between 20 and 60 years Exclusion Criteria: Needle phobia Immature scar or keloid scar Skin diseases or infections near the scar tissue Diabetes Fractures that have altered joint mobility Anticoagulant medication use

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Sham Comparator
True dry needling of the hypertrophic scar tissue
Sham dry needling of the hypertrophic scar tissue
Participants with hypertrophic linear scar tissue in the true dry needling group will undergo authentic dry needling interventions targeted at the scar tissue, in conjunction with routine physiotherapy.
In the sham dry needling group, participants presenting with hypertrophic linear scar tissue will receive superficial dry needling of the skin, performed at a location distinct from the scar tissue. This will be administered alongside routine physiotherapy.
