“…Males (44.7% of the population) were less likely to have a shin splint than females (55.3%) (Figure 4). Depending on the degree of pain and the shoe surface, shin splints are more frequent in marathon runners [21].…”

Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), usually referred to as "shin splints," is a common overuse injury of the lower extremities affecting a large percentage of athletes. A variety of factors can lead to shin splints, including overtraining, poor footwear, muscular imbalances at the ankle, overtight or weak triceps surae muscles, imbalances at the thoracolumbar complex, and a body mass index (BMI) above 30. Injuries present with diffuse palpable pain that is often described as a dull ache following exercise. The pain is often alleviated by resting. Often, athletes complain of tenderness along the posteromedial edge of the tibia and pain along the middle to distal third of the posteromedial border of the tibia following an exercise session. The pain caused by a shin splint should be categorized according to its location and cause, such as lower medial tibial pain caused by periostitis or upper lateral tibial pain caused by raised compartment pressure. In order to prevent MTSS or shin splints, it is important to avoid excessive stress. The main objectives of shin splint treatment are to relieve pain and to enable the patient to return to normal activities without pain. To prevent shin splints, repetitive stress should be avoided. In this paper, we review what is known about the pathophysiology of shin splint syndrome, present evidence regarding risk factors associated with shin splints, assess the effectiveness of prevention strategies, and make recommendations for prevention. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of interventions to prevent shin splints.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in traditional Chinese treatment of medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) and suggest directions for future research in Korea. Methods We investigated clinical studies using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of MTSS through China National Knowledge Infrastructure search. Fourteen studies published from 2000 to 2022 were adopted and analyzed. We examined authors, type of study design, publishied year, intervention, treatment effectiveness. Results Among 14 studies, 8 were case reports and 6 were randomized controlled trials. Four interventions were used in 14 studies. Acupuncture and physical therapy were most frequently used interventions, each used in 12 studies. For evaluation of treatment effectness, 7 outcome measurements were used, effective rate was the most commonly used measurement. All of 14 studies showed good treatment results. Conclusions Through this study, we were able to identify current trends of Chinese medicine treatment for MTSS. Based on this, more study should be conducted to accumulate evidence for Korean medicine treatment of MTSS.

Training at high intensity without proper warm-up and cool-down can cause shin splint injuries in runners. This may lead to a decline in the athlete’s performance during training and competition. This study aims to determine the effect of PNF training therapy on shin splint injuries in marathon runners. This research employs a quasi-experimental approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Data collection methods include tests and measurements using a goniometer to assess joint range of motion (ROM) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to measure pain levels. The population in this study consisted of running athletes from the Yogyakarta running community, with a sample of 16 individuals selected based on specific criteria. The study results showed a significant average reduction in knee pain of 1.00 and ankle pain of 0.94. Additionally, an increase in knee ROM was observed: flexion increased by 7.81; extension by 7.82; adduction by 4.25; and abduction by 3.75. Ankle ROM also increased: dorsiflexion by 5.94, plantarflexion by 3.62, inversion by 3.57, and eversion by 2.68.
