Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Shin Splints, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is defined by the American Academy of Orthopaedic surgeons as “Pain along the inner edge of the shin bone. Researchers limited shin splints strictly to musculotendinous lesions of the leg. He included lesions of the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum as anterior shin splints, lesions involving the posteromedial leg musclestibialis posterior, flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus and soleus are part of the posterior shin splint syndrome because there lesions often involve the periosteum as well, they will be clarified as part of what is known as medial tibial stress syndrome OBJECTIVES: 1. To find out the effectiveness of myofascial release in the management of shin pain among medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. 2. To find out the effectiveness of taping in the management of shin pain among medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. 3. To compare the effectiveness of myofascial release and tapingin the management of shin pain among medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. 4. To find out the effectiveness of myofascial release in the management of ankle range of motion among medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. 5. To find out the effectiveness of taping in the management of ankle range of motion among medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. 6. To compare the effectiveness of myofascial release and taping in the management of ankle range of motion among medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. METHODOLOGY: Study Setting: The study was conducted in Physiotherapy outpatient department of RVS College of Physiotherapy. Selection of Subjects: Twenty medial tibial stress syndrome subjects who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the study and consecutively assigned in to two equal groups, Group A – Myofascial Release, Group B – Kinesiology Taping. Study Design: Pre-test and post-test experimental study design. Inclusion Criteria: • Clinically diagnosed MTSS subjects. • Both sexes are includes. • Subjects with Age group 20 – 30. • Actively involved in sports. 3.7 Exclusion Criteria: • Stress fractures. • Burns. • Deep vein thrombosis. • Taking blood thinning medications. • Nerve damage. RESULTS: Twenty clinically diagnosed medial tibial stress syndrome subjects were taken and divided in to two equal groups A and B. Group a were treated with myofascial release and group B were treated with kinesio taping for a period of two weeks. Pain and dorsiflexion range of motion were measured before intervention and after two weeks by VAS and goniometry respectively. CONCLUSION: Twenty medial tibial stress syndrome subjects were selected for the study and consecutively divided in to two equal groups group A and B. Group A subjects were treated with myofascial release and group B by kinesio taping for a period of two weeks. Shin pain and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion of all the subjects were measured at the beginning of the study and at end of two weeks intervention. Shin pain and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion were measured by visual analog scale and goniometry respectively. The statistical results of the study revealed that both the techniques are effective in reducing pain and improving statistical among medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. But when comparing both there is no significant difference between two interventions.
