Observing the Effect of Fascial Manipulation in Athletes With Shin Splits.Tibial Stress Syndrome. — MTSS  

Shin Splint Clinical Trial

Official title: Influence of Fascial Manipulation on Running Kinematics Among Athletes With Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Aims & objectives:

1. The aim of the study is to find out the influence of fascial manipulation on running kinematics among athletes with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS).

2. The objectives of our study are

i. To use fascial manipulation as a mode of treatment in MTSS. ii. To compare running kinematics before and after treatment intervention. iii. To compare pain perception before and after treatment intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

The justification for study:

1. MTSS is associated with altered lower extremity kinematics.

2. There is an association between tibial fascia tightness and forces acting along the tibial crest due to alterations in the transfer of energy from foot proximally in the closed kinematic chain.

3. Fascial manipulation is found to be effective in improving the pliability of connective tissues in the management of musculoskeletal conditions.

4. Therefore there is a need to determine the influence of fascial manipulation on MTSS. ;
