Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The expected results of the study analyzing the effect of hip strengthening exercises on pain, functional ability and biomechanical characteristic in medial tibial stress syndrome subjects. Hip strengthening exercises along with conventional treatment provide better stability to the pelvis and lower limbs during weight-bearing activities. This stability can help distribute forces more evenly throughout the lower body, reducing the strain on the shins. Hip strengthening exercises can play a crucial role in managing MTSS by improving the biomechanical characteristics of lower extremity. Weakness or imbalance in the hip muscles can lead to altered lower limb mechanics during activities like running or jumping. Strengthening the hip muscles can help correct these biomechanical abnormalities, reducing the excessive stress on the tibia.Timepoint: pre test measurement at zero week and post test measurement after 6 weeks—
