Doors to new treatment approach in medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)-A case report of a runner

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is one of the most common syndrome in runners. Due to lack of gold standard treatment, it becomes quite challenging to deal with the syndrome. This is a single subject case report of a 23 year old runner who reported to clinic with bilateral shin pain, where use of manual therapy and kinesiotaping benefited the patient in terms of return to running activity and symptoms. In addition, a running assessment was performed to identify potential faulty patterns and then through education, the patient responded well to the approach. Although, high quality clinical trials are required to explore the efficacy of such interventions (manual therapy and kinesiotaping) in the MTSS patients as a possible treatment approach.
