简要总结
This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of therapeutic ultrasound versus shockwave therapy on pain , range of motion and function in recreational runners with medial tibial stress syndrome so that we can formulate a better and most effective regime for treatment of medial tibial stress. Duration was of 6 months, convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Ghurki Trust teaching hospital, horizon hospital and surgimed hospital. Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with shockwave and Group B were given baseline treatment along with therapeutic ultrasound. Assesment was done at baseline and at 2nd week and 6th week post-interrvention . Assessment was done via, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Lower Extermity functional scale LEFS ) and goniometric measurements of shoulder ranges, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 26.
详细描述
Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a common low leg injury. It is described as activity-induced pain along posterior medial border of leg approximately for 5 cm. Most commonly reported by runners and military personnel. Incidence of MTSS ranges between 13.6% to 20% in runners. Significant increase in loading activities or rigorous exercise causing high impact like skiping, jogging can induce MTSS which leads to stress fracture of tibia. Various risk factors are associated with the incidence of medial tibial stress syndrome which includes both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Current study has involved comparison of therapeutic ultrasound versus shockwave therapy as there is limited knowledge about comparison of therapeutic ultrasound versus shockwave therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
Goniometry
时间窗: 3rd day
A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.
NPRS
时间窗: 3rd day
Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain.
LEFS
时间窗: 3rd day
It is used to assessment of lower extremity function a questionnaire of 20 questions about a person also ability to perform daily task 0 is minimum score, 80 is maximum score. lower the score greater the disability.
