Factors contributing to the development of medial tibial stress syndrome in high school runners

摘要: Study Design Predictive correlational study. Objectives To identify the incidence of medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) in a group high school cross-country runners and to determine if relationship exists between lower extremity structural measures MTSS. Background Medial is an overuse injury that occurs long-distance runners. Literature implicates deformity as contributor MTSS, but no studies have developed predictive model. Methods Measures We measured 125 for tibiofibular varum, resting calcaneal position during stance, gastrocnemius length. Runners developing MTSS over 8-week period were placed injured (2 men, 13 women; age 15.3 years ± 1.0), 21 randomly selected uninjured (13 8 15.7 1.5). Navicular drop was both groups. Reliability determined using ...
