  • Abstract:
  • Introduction: Inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tibia is the cause of shinbone pain, also referred to as shin splints or Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS). This condition is often seen in athletes who perform repetitive impact activities, such as running on a treadmill. Kinesio taping has been suggested as one way to manage shin splints. Another method gaining popularity for treating shin splints is foam rolling, which has shown to be an effective approach for relieving pain and aiding recovery. Methodology: A experimental study was conducted on a total of 58 treadmill users. Participants were recruited according to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, comprising both male and female individuals aged 20 to 35 diagnosed with shin splints. A total of 58 participants were randomly assigned into two groups, each containing 29 members. Group A, the experimental group, received 5 minutes of Kinesio taping followed by 3 minutes of foam rolling. Group B, the control group, only received 5 minutes of Kinesio taping. The outcome was measured using the Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) score. Participants were examined prior to the intervention and then re-evaluated after 4 weeks. The data was analyzed statistically, and the results were obtained. Result- A statistically significant difference (p value (< 0.00001) was seen between the pre and post evaluations of pain (on the MTSS Score) in the experimental group. Conclusion- Kinesio taping and foam rolling for four weeks can have a significant effect on shin splint in treadmill users between the ages of 20 and 35.
