Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

baseline physical therapy treatment along with shockwave therapy

Group A, this group will receive conventional therapies along with shockwave therapy. Basic treatment includes icing (15-20 min) to control inflammation, rest, cessation of pain causing activity, anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) and basic stretching and strengthening exercises. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic modality with convenience, effectiveness and safety. It is used to treat various musculoskeletal disorders without surgery. A session of 30-45 min will include icing 15 min and 5-10 min of shock wave therapy session will be commenced with strengthening and stretching exercises.

OTHER

baseline physical therapy treatment along with therapeutic ultrasound

This group will receive therapeutic ultrasound along with conventional treatment. Conventional therapy includes icing, rest, anti-inflammatory drugs, and basic strengthening and stretching exercises. A session of 30-45 min will include icing for 10-15 min therapeutic ultrasound 15min with a frequency 1-3MHz and the session will be ended with strengthening and stretching exercises. Only eligible patients who have fulfilled the inclusion criteria will be included. A daily session of 30-45min for 2 consecutive weeks will be given. A baseline assessment will be done and the patient will be allocated randomly to both groups for two weeks. Re-assessment will be done after 2 weeks. For long term, effects re-assessment will be done after 6 weeks
