Calf Strengthening With or Without Hip Strengthening for Athletes With Recurring Shin Splints

2026年11月5日 更新者:Komal Ahmed、University of Management and Technology Lahore

Effects of Progressive Loading of Soleus With and Without Hip Strengthening on Pain, Strength, Dynamic Balance and Return to Sports in Athletes With Recurrent Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding hip strengthening exercises to a calf strengthening program works better than the calf program alone for athletes aged 18 to 40 who keep getting shin splints (pain along the inner edge of the shin bone during or after running). The study will find out which program better reduces shin pain, increases calf and hip muscle strength, improves balance while reaching on one leg, and helps athletes return to their sport without pain. Researchers will compare a progressive calf (soleus) strengthening program alone with the same calf program plus hip strengthening exercises. Participants will receive one of the two programs 3 times a week for 8 weeks (24 sessions), along with advice on managing training load, stretching, balance exercises and a gradual return-to-running plan. They will complete tests of pain, muscle strength, balance, daily function and return to sport at the start, at week 4 and at week 8.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
有源比较器:Progressive Loading of Soleus (PLS)

Progressive soleus loading program plus basic rehabilitation, 3 supervised sessions per week for 8 weeks (24 sessions).

Structured progressive soleus loading exercises to improve plantar-flexor strength, muscular endurance and tibial load tolerance. Load and intensity are progressed gradually according to each participant's tolerance and clinical response.

实验性的:Progressive Loading of Soleus Combined with Hip Strengthening

The same progressive soleus loading program and basic rehabilitation as Arm 1, plus hip strengthening, 3 supervised sessions per week for 8 weeks (24 sessions).

Strengthening exercises for the hip abductors, extensors and external rotators, performed for approximately 15 to 20 minutes per session, with individualized progression.

研究衡量的是什么?

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Pain Intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale)
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.

An 11-point self-reported scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain), rating average pain during running or sports activities. Lower scores indicate less pain.

Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.
Muscle Strength (Handheld Dynamometer)
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.

Isometric strength of the plantar-flexor and hip muscles, measured with a handheld dynamometer. Higher values indicate greater strength.

Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.
Dynamic Balance (Y-Balance Test)
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.

Single-leg reach in the anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral directions, normalized to limb length and reported as a composite score (% of limb length). Higher scores indicate better dynamic balance.

Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.
Pain-Free Return to Sport
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.

Whether the participant completes the graded return-to-running program and resumes sport without reproduction of medial tibial stress syndrome symptoms (achieved / not achieved).

Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 8.
