Effect of Functional Strength Training of Hip Abductors in Runners With Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome

This study will be the first project to investigate the effect of functional strength training of hip abductors on pain, function, hip, and knee kinematics including contra-lateral pelvic drop angle (hip frontal plane projection angle) and dynamic knee valgus (knee frontal plane projection angle) in runners with medial tibial stress syndrome patients.

Inclusion Criteria:Male and female Athletes (runners) with a referred diagnosis of MTSS for at least 1 monthParticipants with bilateral affection, the most affected limb will be included in measurements.Body mass index range between (18.5-25 kg /m2 )Exclusion Criteria:History of previous lower extremity surgeryNeurological problems that will affect lower extremity functionRecent or old fractures at lower limbsCognitive impairmentMedications (anti-inflammatory/muscle relaxant)Tumours
