“…2,4,7,8,10,11,12,14,15 The pathophysiology of the condition remains incompletely understood but is based on the premise of raised intra-compartmental pressures within a relatively rigid fascial compartment, causing reduced tissue perfusion and subsequent ischaemia. 2,8,15,16,17,18,19,20 During exercise, it is normal for intra-compartmental pressures to rise; however, this increased pressure does not usually cause symptoms or altered tissue oxygenation as in patients with CECS. 2,9,19 Patients with CECS have relatively greater increases in pressure and these pressures also take longer to return to normal after cessation of exercise.…”
