Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aims \& objectives:

1. The aim of the study is to find out the influence of fascial manipulation on running kinematics among athletes with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS).
2. The objectives of our study are

i. To use fascial manipulation as a mode of treatment in MTSS. ii. To compare running kinematics before and after treatment intervention. iii. To compare pain perception before and after treatment intervention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The justification for study:

1. MTSS is associated with altered lower extremity kinematics.
2. There is an association between tibial fascia tightness and forces acting along the tibial crest due to alterations in the transfer of energy from foot proximally in the closed kinematic chain.
3. Fascial manipulation is found to be effective in improving the pliability of connective tissues in the management of musculoskeletal conditions.
4. Therefore there is a need to determine the influence of fascial manipulation on MTSS.
