Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare some anatomical features and ankle isokinetic muscle strength of adolescent athletes with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) and healthy control group and to examine the adequacy of ‘tibial facial traction theory in the development of MTSS.Materials and Methods: Adolescent athletes who had been diagnosed with MTSS during the season and healthy control group participants were included in the study. Demographic data and training details of the athletes were recorded. The MTSS score was used to determine the severity of the injury. The navicular drop test, lower extremity length measurement, and isokinetic muscle strength measurement were performed. Results: The complaint duration of the patients with MTSS (n:21) was 1.8 ± 1.8 months and the MTSS score was 3.9 ± 2.2. The control group (n:12) and the athletes diagnosed with MTSS had similar demographic characteristics and training details. There was no difference between the groups in terms of navicular drop and lower extremity length. There was no ‘lower extremity difference’ for right and left extremities. According to the results of the isokinetic muscle strength test in plantarflexion and dorsiflexion direction, there was no difference between the groups in terms of muscle strength at both low and high angular speeds. Conclusion: ‘The tibial traction theory’ does not sufficiently explain the pathogenesis of MTSS. Studies which evaluate isokinetic muscle strength and perform real-time dynamic analysis on the track are required to make recommendations for ideal protection and rehabilitation in cases of MTSS.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, medial tibial stres sendromu (MTSS) gelişen adolesan sporcular ile sağlıklı kontrol grubunun bazı anatomik özelliklerini ve ayak bileği izokinetik kas kuvvetini karşılaştırmaktır. MTSS gelişiminde ‘Tibial fasial-traksiyon teorisi’nin yeterliliğini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bir sezonluk süre içerisinde MTSS tanısı alan adolesan sporcular ve sağlıklı kontrol grubu araştırmaya alındı. Sporculara ait demografik veriler ve antrenman detayları kaydedildi. Hastalık şiddetini belirlemek için MTSS şiddet skoru kullanıldı. Sporculara naviküler çökme testi, alt ekstremite uzunluk ölçümü ve izokinetik kas kuvvet ölçümü yapıldı. Bulgular: MTSS tanısı alan (n:21) hastaların şikayet süresi 1.8 ± 1.8 ay, MTSS şiddet skoru 3.9 ± 2.2 puandı. Kontrol grubu (n:12) ile MTSS tanısı alan sporcuların demografik verileri ve antrenman detayları benzerdi. Naviküler çökme miktarı ve alt ekstremite uzunluğu gruplar arasında fark oluşturmadı. Sağ ve sol ekstremite için ‘alt ekstremite uzunluk farkı’ yoktu. Plantarfleksiyon ve dorsifleksiyon yönündeki izokinetik kas kuvvet testinin sonuçlarına göre hem düşük açısal hızda hem de yüksek açısal hızda gruplar arasında kas kuvveti açısından fark belirlenmedi. Sonuç: ‘Tibial fasial-traksiyon teorisi’ MTSS patogenezini açıklamakta yetersizdir. MTSS vakalarında, ideal düzeyde koruma ve rehabilitasyon önerilerde bulunmak için izokinetik kas kuvvetinin değerlendirildiği ve koşu alanında gerçek zamanlı dinamik analizlerin yapıldığı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
